So Ron Champions locost book arrived today.......
And right away I noticed something that appears to be very wrong with the green car on the cover.
Anyone else see what I am talking about?

I suppose, being in canada, the steering wheel's on the wrong side for you?
Cheers

steering wheel might be right hand drive but the wipers are for a left hooker.

Throught the windscreen you can see the start of a roll bar. But the rest of its been photoshopped away.

Thats what I was noticing. They are directional tires and are mounted on the wrong sides. The V shape in tread always points down looking at it from
the front. If mounted backwards they build too much heat and can come apart.
I didnt notice the rollbar though
Cheers.

Then you can go to the nearest camp site with your tin opener to strip some ally panels for your new build

Since when is anyone going to use a cortina body jack to lift the car and change a wheel.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I dunno - can anybody point me in the right direction for some google images searching
RE: the tyres - depends if they are directional...?
Anyway, Ron Champion was a delusional ex-Acid taker £250.00 my A$$ he misplaced the decimal point - well that's how Caterham interpreted it...
Westfield moved the decimal point and then deducted some and I'm hoping for £250 x 10 = finished build

Yeah it took me quite a while to photoshop the bald patch on my old man's head. Honest
Cheers for the compliment, Steve - quite an old photo though - got panels/roll bar/rad/almost brakes and stuff now. Just thought the pose was
appropriate...

How do you get the steering to drop down at about 90 deg to the rack?

Who's Avatar are we talking about here?
If its mine, take a look at www.deviantart.com and search for a guy called steelfinger, the young lady is called Emily:

Websites probably not worksafe, depending on what areas you visit.
If its C10CoryM's then I havent a clue.

At first glance it looks like the shock absorber on the front off side suspension is not connected, as you can see what looks like the mounting bush.
However I think that it might be a damper adjustment knob or something simmilar.
