The development of the single seater has been a long and drawn out affair being passed from one pair of hands to another as the people who inherit it drop by the way side...so untill some one manages to get it finished and presented to Haynes we'll just have to keep following the saga

Why dont you get off your high horse and stop being so critical of others, i suppose if it was you it would be finished, with a full production run and competing with the likes of westfield and caterum

Personal circumstances are unavoidable and sniping does no good here,some people have short memories and it may be pertinant to delete the content of the post that some may find offensive,what will be will be eventually.

The finger is not pointed at one individual,its just how I feel.

Let's be perfectly honest, what happened after some in progress pics of the single seater were posted? I wouldn't be at all surprised if the decision was made to keep the single seater under wraps until Haynes had commissioned the first print run.

I will also say that when I first saw the single seater it was shortly after it arrived at SSC. There was a lot of work that still needed to be done to it, so I think to get it to a finished stage by now is worth giving credit to all parties involved

Given the sad personal circumstances of the books author, that is a very low blow mate.

I am sure that Haynes will release further details on the Single Seater as and when that information is available.
