Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about these MK sports cars in the USA. I ain’t no fancy car expert, but I know a thing or two about gettin’ around.
What are these MK cars anyway?
From what I gather, these MK fellas, they make these cars you gotta put together yourself, like them old toys we used to get. They call ‘em “kit cars.” Imagine that! You buy a pile of parts and gotta make a whole car outta it. Sounds like a whole lotta work if you ask me.
These cars ain’t like them big ol’ Cadillacs neither. They’re small and sporty, kinda like them little bugs that zip around. They say they’re inspired by somethin’ called a “Lotus Seven,” whatever that is. Sounds fancy, huh?
MK Indy, Sounds like a Race Car
They got this one car they call the “Indy.” I reckon it’s named after that big race they got, the Indy 500. They got all sorts of versions of this Indy car, like Classic, R, RR, and even one they call RX-5, which uses parts from a Mazda, whatever that is. They say they made a whole bunch of ‘em, over 4000! That’s a lot of cars, ain’t it?
- MK Indy Classic
- MK Indy R
- MK Indy RR
- MK Indy RX-5
Engines and Such
Now, about the engines. They use different kinds, Ford and Mazda, I hear. There’s this one engine they call a “VTEC,” from a Honda Civic. Sounds like a lawnmower engine to me, but I guess it’s powerful enough for these little cars.
Building One of These Cars
Building one of these cars, well, that ain’t for the faint of heart. They say it’s hard work, takes a long time, and costs a pretty penny. You gotta be real handy with tools and have a lot of patience, that’s for sure. It ain’t like bakin’ a pie, I tell ya. I’ve seen folks start these projects and never finish ‘em. They end up sellin’ a half-built car, just like them unfinished quilts in my attic.
Why Bother?
So why would anyone wanna go through all that trouble? Well, I guess some folks like to tinker, like my old man with his tractors. And these cars, they’re kinda special, not like them cars you see everywhere. You can make ‘em just the way you want, pick the colors, the wheels, whatever you fancy. They say each car is “bespoke,” which just means it’s one of a kind, like my prize-winning blueberry jam.
Price and Where to Get ‘Em
Now, about the price. They ain’t cheap, that’s for sure. They say the price is the same as what the MK folks charge over in England, but you gotta pay a little extra for bringin’ it over here. And don’t forget, you’re gonna spend a lot of time and maybe even more money puttin’ it together. Where to get ‘em? Well, I reckon you gotta go online, find someone who sells these kits. Maybe they got a website, or you gotta send ‘em an email. It’s all so complicated these days.
MK Sportscars vs. Other Cars
Compared to them fancy new cars, these MK cars are different. You can buy a Toyota Supra, they say it’s sporty, and you just drive it off the lot. But one of these MK cars? You gotta sweat over it, put it together with your own two hands. It’s more like buildin’ a house than buyin’ one, if you catch my drift.
A Little Bit of History
I heard tell that these kit cars used to be popular because you could save some money on taxes. But then the government changed the rules, and now it ain’t so cheap no more. Still, some folks love ‘em, they love the challenge of buildin’ somethin’ themselves. It’s like those old days when folks built their own furniture, not like now when you just buy it all ready-made.
Final Thoughts
So, these MK sports cars in the USA, they ain’t for everyone. They’re for folks who like to get their hands dirty, folks who want somethin’ different, somethin’ they built themselves. If you’re one of them, well then, maybe this is the car for you. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if you can’t get it put together, ya hear?
