Much better picture. Can't help much beyond that. Good luck!

The only way I'm easy is when I'm...

The images on this site generally are a bit messed up. Ground control to Major Tom.......... ..

You Can't Hold On Too Long, The Cars. Back to the bone: 'Cos that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever....'

Have you tried Google? The photo you show isn't very inspiring. Big old thing, though!

And you were, I got it! Nobody seemed to mind, I think we all thought he'd rather be left alone.

I'd rather keep what's left of my teeth! And yes, no-one said a word!

I saw 2 police vans and a patrol car and 8 or so policemen and women in the process of closing down some incident or other. All well inside the 2 metre 'safety zone'. The most stupid bit was that they actually took the 'suspect' out of one van and marched him to the other one - so he gets to be in close contact with a whole bunch of rozzers and infect or be infected by not one but two police vans. Yesterday I was parked outside the local supermarket in my 25 year old 530i Touring and a proper bobbed Harley blatted into the next parking bay. Black, proper high apes and big fat back tyre. Rider was wearing shades and cutoffs. I stuck my thumb up as he glanced over - and he completely ignored me and walked into the shop. He seemed to ignore the queue of customers who had been waiting outside as well. Straight out of Sonny Barger's textbook.

I can hear the music playing now...!

Thanks David. Funny that never occurred to me, it seems obvious now I know! Those beetles were pretty rigidly built. Cheers, -Don.

Oddball : To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Tigers.

I'd not bother eating food that someone else had cooked right now. It is bl**dy annoying. But c'est la vie!

The bits of underpinning that poke out under the sills in front of the back wheels (dunno what they are but they must be there for a reason, they're visible on the real car too, looking unsightly!) are a bit too big and chunky but otherwise brilliant! Anyone know what they are?

This is the best Google can do.

Search me, gov!

Its always best to buy a car at night in the rain!

'Overall it's a surprisingly well engineered kit...' I'm impressed that the exhaust bore gets smaller towards the rear just like it should - this maintains the gas flow as it cools so helps it exhaust faster. Good job all round.

Great realisation of a great idea! I think the body might well twist a bit once this device had a few hard miles under its wheels! Not that any warpage is noticeable in the pictures. The old Cologne Capris used to finish races with a diagonal crease across the roof.The mechanics just popped them back out ready for the next round.

I also like the stance especially on those wheels. What are they from?

Snake - if you haven't read it and are partial to the Beaver (very carefully phrased!) then I highly recommend 'Think Like a Bird' by Alex Kimbell - ISBN 1904744052.

Clever and neat. Well done.

God d*mn the pusher man...

I know what it is but I don't know why...?

Thanks Scott! I can see the aerodynamic benefit, sometimes old racers would turn their headlights sideways to cut drag in the daytime.
