On the whole though, with a little work I would imagine it could be made to work very well!!
Adrian - where would you have been racing in the late 80s/early 90s? Jiffy's DogCat would have been in action in the Northants/Milton Keynes area - specifically the Toddington club.

I raced at Silverstone Buggy club. What a small world it is, as assuming it is the same person, I purchased Jiffy's Cougar 2 team off him around 91/92 I think from memory (just after the advent of the Cougar 2000), and ironically I am getting his original shell reproduced for my modern(ish) SV2 as I still love the paint job! (still own the Cougar2).
