Raptor Soup for Breakfast

Served Fresh and Hot with a little just Plain Nuts

It was 3:38 in the morning, on Sunday (June 19th) and I was just waking up; trying to find consciousness in preparation for our KITFEST Livestream. … oh God!

Whilst slurping my coffee and trying to clear the cobwebs, I received a bevy of messages from our good friend Andrew Entwistle (Raptor Sports Cars) with some exciting news.

Being that the topic of the day (ie KITFEST) was … KITS, it seemed very appropriate (in a still not conscious kind of way) to discuss the Kit lineup at Raptor.

I’d been plotting with some of our other 7Spot Show hosts on doing a “bang for your buck” show and it was great to have the opportunity to chat with Andrew about the Raptor lineup.

Here’s a taste of getting started on your (MX5) SB5 Raptor kit.

… don’t know why but I always find Chassis Welding videos so Zen

… “Ooohmn” … so relaxing!

After chatting a while about what’s going on, we decided to plan a future livestream so we could further explain what’s new and exciting.

There’s too much meat on the bone to lay it all out here (Andrew is quite prolific) but here’s a snippet on the MX5 based Raptor Kit

and take a look at this!
