I'm in agreement with comments made on the locost forum.
|
Love it, itīs looking real good:D
Maybe next winter (hope my wife not reading this):D Janne |
Thank you for the comments, i made some pics available when maybe i shouldn't of for a prototype car that was on the road for the first time. A lot of work has been made since then and i just hope it is all worth the work and effort that is going in to it. We shall find out months to come by, and on Saturday morning for a few nice people that are coming over.
I love this self build concept let's hope it continues......:) AndyH |

Had a right laugh today, the single seater drives great after andys hard work getting the suspension and track width sorted. Seating/steering position is spot on now.Its all coming together nicely and the hard work is showing for itself. Best test drive had to be Handyandys bit of destructive testing (sorry mate couldnt resist;))

nah, just a little mishap with my dodgy temporary gear lever. It did take me a minute to make mind
|
I glad all the dynamics are sorted, you have to do something about the front, it looks like a lidless wheely bin has been glued to the front, I know it is a pre production prototype, but releasing images with the real front end would have been better publicity.

I'll be buying the book.
I really hope I will get the time, money and motivation to build one. But... and I'm going to be put on the unpopular list with this.... the styling of it is a bit, err, well ugly is too harsh, but its far from pretty. It looks OK, but not what it could have been. Almost all the racing cars of the 60's era are stunning and that is obviously where this car gets its inspiration, but to be brutally honest, I think I'll try and make my own bodywork to wrap over it. And my post above is not meant to get a response, its just my own personal opinion. We can all have them, we all like different things. But from other comments made, I am not alone in my thinking. |

Just my thoughts |
Looks are everything when it's a car that isn't allowed on a track.

Its a real shame that the possitive posts and good feeling on this forum are being let down by the constant sniping by mr mark bean and his many aliases. I dont know what your gripe is, and personaly i dont care, but could you take it somewhere else? Im sure im not the only one whos fed up...
|
Nathan + 1 not just mr mark bean, there are others :(

Well said Ronnie,the car is a first build and not finished so why not keep the sniping out of the forum and return to building cars.
Its fairly obvious who is who and the post's are obvious as well and it does not matter who's finger is in what pie so long as the outcome pleases the owner,a plea,if you cant post anything constructive or helpfull dont post. |
Would you advertise a catholic curch in the Jewish Cronicle ?:rolleyes:

Well said Ronnie!!!!

Single seaters are only allowed on track days with other single seaters, they don't qualify for the kit car series as they are classed as open wheeled cars.
It's the reason we opted to drop making ours before it went too far because we saw it as mainly a track based car rather than a road car. If folk have a problem with me then please come to Exeter as I love nowt better than face to face talking. I might be a short arse but I do love a " heated chat" The internet makes folk very brave!!!! |
Is it a single seater in the strict sense of the breed Mark,there may be a place in sports and saloon's as in the Northern sports series as there are different classes and things like Jade Trackstars run around in saloon bodywork and run low 1.20's around Croft.

That car would be allowed at any run what ya brung day, any hill climb and sprint, drag strip and who knows it may end up so popular in numbers that a single make series my kick off. Thats just for starters, I think its kin great. Bob |
Time will tell.....................
It's a passion for some. |
Personally I would be well up for some wheel to wheel closeness again thats when track driving gets really fun
|
well what a pile of shite bubbling up again
the definition of FORUM is a public space for "DEBATE" and or discussion board would you lot stop being a bunch of knobs..... if Spud puts up a picture of his latest project then it is up for debate.. from a debate you will get various opinions.. accept that!!!!!!!! Spud is an adult who publishes his business and work on this forum.. there fore he invites debate .... just because somebody has a negative opinion of what is published they should not get flamed on here. As somebody who likes spuds work should not be called a Handyandy back slapper For my two penny worth!!!!!!! Spud you crack-on its your canoe ! paddle it just the way you like.. its your business and your decision to promote it how ever you want to.. myself i,ll reserve comment until i see the finished result.. but a self build road legal s/seater car has me well interested cheers les g |

Is there any update on Chris Gibbs; health, is he well enough to be involved in the publication ?

Just seen a review of this in Track Driver magazine. For those of you who can't wait or have money to burn you can always buy one of these - http://www.f1-67.com/
