I'm afraid that's the very reason we're building our own... we can't afford such things.

Yup I'm sitting at my desk and I fear that I cant stand up because my female co workers might think I'm happy for them!

Not really. Far too sophisticated, fast, good handling et cetera. I'll take my slow litle lump and go home now (sniff...)
Seriously, veeeeeery nice. It's rather mind boggling that the same chasis that get's used for BECs get big V-8s thrown in too. You could
probably fit a Hayabusa in the sump of that thing!
Slightly off topic, but have you done any aero testing on the LMP? I wonder how the creased deign of your car stacks against more organic lined cars.

Steve - is that the LMP chassis as we saw when we visited you? It's probably the only car I would buy in an enclosed bodyshell... could you do a
bulk buy option? 
I've just returned from Scotland - if I hadn't have been so busy I would have called for a cuppa and a kick... if you're not too
busy around the 9-10th Jan maybe then?

C'mon now. Nothing derogatory meant. Tell you what, I'll use boatbuilding terminology and call them "Chines" instead of
creases. Whatever. It's a great car and one of my personal favorites for sure.

I'll be having a word with Steve in the morning about a couple of mods to the bodywork, cant wait to see his reaction about "ironing out
the creases" the terminology "Kick in the goolies mean the same in the states"?? Not to worry I can usually outrun him

Looking at the design of the front upright, I'd say it's a Turner design alright.....
Looks good! Could we see more of it? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?
Compare it to this Turner LMP upright:

I knew I'd seen that shot somewhere before - just took me until tonight to find it.
The car is the Evans 486 - see www.evanscars.com for more.
Not sure that the body styling does much for me though.
So, do I get a prize for identifying it?

HA! Well done that man! I knew someone would identify it sooner or later.
It is indeed the Evans 386/486 chassis that sits under the car you see above. The project is for sale for $95,000 if anyone's interested!
I briefly considered it for the GT project, but that's fallen by the wayside...
No prizes on this occasion, sorry guys!
Best Regards,
Steve.

Is she standing on the rear wing, or is that a bad photoshop paste?
The chassis is very nice looking, but the bodywork is ... uhhh.. . . better keep quiet.
