Hi Tim,
I fully understand your desire to build a car as daily-driver-able as possible. I built a Locost years ago and although it was fun to go on weekend drives in the summer, the open cockpit and tight seating made it not feasible to use as a daily driver. I realized that you get limited enjoyment out of a car that you can only use sporadically, and I ended up selling it. That is why I have started designing my own version of a Midlana type car, but with a greater emphasis on daily driving usability. Further details about this are on the "Design Guidelines" and "Optional Extras" pages on my website:

I am in the similar place, I want a Locost. But I live in the Pacific North Wet and I can't give up garage space for a car I can only drive in fair weather.
I am torn between a Locost or my Dream AutoX Weapon, a 67 Volvo 122 Estate Project with a set back dry sumped 3.0L DOHC V6 Turbo tube chassis & Wide Body which will relegate me to the Emod class where I will be over weight and out classed, but dry.
