well to put in my 2p ns worth ... like others have said on this thread its definitely cheaper now.... at least based on a like for like basis......
... based on the 90's prices..
Schumacher's top of line buggy 4wd:
Schumacher cat2000 ( i think i bought it mid 90's ish, was when ever it first came out, Seymore models in Harrow ) £279.00
Cat aero ( best kit price i could find now on a quick look ) £294.00
so very little difference from what i can see..... and thats not taking into consideration 20yrs of inflation ....cant do the sums on that but id bet comparatively it makes things cheaper even more so...........also the aero has Carbon fibre everywhere... so your getting more for your money!
