No, absolutely not. I am not interested in race cars and here in Australia, a self-built car must undergo major engineering inspection and emissions, brakes and handling testing, all under the supervision of a registered engineer. I haven't looked recently at the cost but it's probably about US$10,000 all-up.
Plus there is no way in the world I could build a better body than the Gen I Insight, and I own three of them (out of around 50 sold in this country). Two are put aside for future projects.
Anyway, unfortunately these days books make very little money, so it's only worth doing them if I can largely take what I am already doing and put that into printed form.
