kit car crisis
after watching the program tonight,i have to laugh at the phrase chassis designer, imo it seems to be a very poor copy of something i have seen
before.
on the subject of weld quality my 10 year old daughter can do better.

i thought the show wasnt too bad - as already said by some, mark appears a tad naive about whats involved. plus, expecting a top ten finish when he
himself admits he has no instinct regarding fast driving, is just daft. He should just aim to finish every race in his first season. does he think
he's racing against a field of muppets?!
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

As I said though, I think its getting better, and it will further as he learns more
Some of the welding and design made me cringe however! I wasn't too keen on the design of the brake pedal  It looked like a bird had sh*t on
it!

That worried me as well - looked like my first efforts at welding 6 years ago, before I found out how it's supposed to be done!

The top (i think) engine mounts looked very flimsy and surely an engine like that needs to be braced in all planes of movement not just one ?

A lot of the brackets looked flimsy to me! Perhaps thats why some of them aledgedly fell off!

Too B***dy right, M8T!!!!
Wish I had enough space for a shed like that. Trouble is, SWMBO would take it over, for her garden plants & stuff.

I watched Sat nights episode for first time. Didnt seem too bad of a program. He on the sort of learning curve that a lot of us start on - albeit most
of us would choose a simpler first project.
I liked his shed. Would have been better with bigger door and access to front of house!! Its one thing carrying bits thro house but how will he get
car out??
Didnt think much of his supplier. Do they have shares in a washer factory?
