Dubious moral ground though, isn't it. How would you feel if someone took moulds off stuff you've made?

I made a point of taking the piss at Stoneleigh a few years ago when I saw that Carbon Mods had copied my low side seat. If you look at the stuff they do it's all copies of Westy and caterham stuff.

Laws are made to be broken otherwise what is the point off having coppers

Mr Henderson,

You started to compare SolidWorks with Sketchup.

For true mechanical CAD the cheapest option is Alibre Pro http://www.alibre.com/products/ad_compare.asp. It's not as mature as SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor or SolidEdge, but it is also a lot cheaper than other mid range MCAD packages.
I will say again that Sketchup is not a mechanical engineering CAD software, although it can be used to make very neat models and schemes in PRO version.
For 2D CAD I sugest to check out fee DraftSight from Dassault Systèmes the mother company of SolidWorks.

No, I didn't, I simply pointed out that it would be possible to draw up a chassis in Sketchup.

If it was legal to go as fast as you like then folk wouldn't bother, take CB's when they were illegal everyone and his hamster had one then they legalised them and no bugger wanted one.

I was led to believe that the Roadster was done in sketchup but then i might be telling fibberoons again
