If the best part of your Sunday is when your wife and kids are asleep then you need to rethink your marriage. Why marry someone when you don't enjoy being around them? I'll never understand boomers in that regard.

If this had a glass (of course whatever material) dome shield (jet fighter type) that slid forward/back to open/close it would make it at least a tad usable and would likely be a highlight feature, and likely make it MORE aerodynamic. It would fit perfectly to the roll bar enclosure. Wouldn't even have to be airtight and could be removable.

Second this! The lack of even a windscreen makes this a deal breaker. As someone who is shopping for an Ariel Atom, I can say I didn't get really interested until they added the windscreen. I can't be the only one who doesn't want to look like a knob head driving around town wearing a helmet. To the people who say that you don't HAVE to wear a helmet in a BAC, I would ask, have you ever been hit in the face by a large hard insect or a small rock while at speed?

I did over 25K miles in a (nearly) 250bhp Caterham on both track and road, and when I sold it, it was with its original brake pads which looked barely worn. That weighed 520Kg (without the fat knacker behind the wheel). It did go through tyres quite quickly but as Ian Briggs noted here, you have to choose different tyres to those sold for normal road cars because normal tyres are simply too hard - lightweight cars just can't get them warm enough. I ran my Caterham on Avon tyres which are specially designed for lightweight specials. I love big American cars but I am proud of the British specialist car industry and the (relative) freedoms of our laws here that permit cars like the BAC Mono and Caterham to still exist.

Mr. Briggs' comments about the difference between plastic molding versus 3D printing totally check out, and it's good to hear it any manufacturing context. Batch-size matters! And, yes, this is a "luxury" product, but it's a perfect example of the type of component manufacturing that just gets more and more important as we "re-shore" industrial output. (Think security implications. Not just weapons. A division gets a one-off batch of a thousand aerial drones that have a special hook to do who knows what.)
