Most excellent car!

You should be very proud!

Please don't take it around Phoenix International Raceway when the NASCAR boys are there!

That looks smart, I can nearly taste that paint





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

FANBLOODYTASTIC Steve, and congrats on the editors choice award.

Those taillights are an inspired detail.

Seeing yours and Kurt's cars looking so good out in the sun really helps me with my motivation....


Cheers

Words fail me. Everything said so far doesnt go far enough. The resultant car is a real credit to you and i hope it makes you a wealthy man.

Wow guys, thank you very much. I do admit that I think it looks great. Now my goal is to get this car, #1 - street legal and #2 back on the track so as to extract all the available performance out of the design. #3 improve the design when required, to increase the performance without compromising greatly on my goal of keeping it affordable. #4 generate enough public awareness of the product to kick start my little grassroots company!

no shit?!

That's pretty funny.

Oh well... I suppose if I named it something else, another country would find whatever word I came up with to be an insult...

This word game happens all the time:

The word 'Hummer' means to perform something sexual on another person, and 'NoVa' means doesn't go. I read somewhere that the word Bora meant something, so VW changed it to Jetta... I am sure there are many more.

Rolls Royce Silver Mist was renamed Silver Shadow in Germany (Mist means Sh*t)

Buick LaCrosse was renamed for Canada (LaCrosse means w*nk in Quebec)

Honda Fitta was renamed Jazz in Europe (In Sweden/Norwegian/Denmark Fitta means c*nt)
