Default Radical information wanted

As some of you may know I am an avid Radical enthusiast and have enjoyed sharing my Radical ownership experiences to help other people become Radical owners. A few years ago I started recording the serial number and options of Radicals when they were advertised for sale. I have been expanding this database to document some history of these fantastic cars. When possible I record the Chassis and EngineSerial numbers, year of production, list of options (air jacks, headlights,oversized brakes, LH or RH drive, etc), pictures of the cars, and any other information that is available. I have found this information to be very helpful when people are trying to purchase a car.

I am looking to get your help in filling out the database. If you have information on any of the Radical cars please post it here or IM me so I can add it to the database.

Thank you for your help,
Charley

Charley, might wanna post this on RL Canada also.....was at Mosport y-day for a 6thGear day and there were 3 or 4 that I saw. They're popular up there and IIRC the Rad race series has been there and will be again this year.

Cool thread and will be super useful when I'm ready to finally buy a SR3.

When you are ready to buy, please feel free to use me as a resource. I enjoy helping people get into these wonderful cars. When I bought mine it was very hard to find much information, so I am always happy to help.

Shoot me an email and I'll put you in touch with one of the former dealers. Don't know if he has any of that info, but might be able to help with some of the older cars. I could get you lots of info on the one that did 1 Lap of America too.

Will do, it's hard to transition from a street car especially when you don't have a tow vehicle/trailer. What did you replace your SR3 with? It was a really nice example.

Yes it is a bit of a transition, but much of the needed equipment holds its value well.... so it’s sort of like leaving your money in the bank until you are done Racing . As for me, I am taking a break from racing. I retired in December and am busy traveling and catching up on all the things I missed while working. But I did pick up an Audi R8 Spyder as a retirement present to myself and I am having a lot of fun with it.
