Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Never seen the car. But at the end of the day something in this case a car is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. End of really. The company in question is still going so presumably they must have customers. You don't sound like your going to be one of them. But so what ! 2 nd can of popcorn please Scott Quote
pistonbroke Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 the statement of a road car built by a race team does not impress me at all yeah, I bet the McLaren MP4-12C is going to be sh*te because it's made by a race team Or any roadgoing Fezzerr for that matter Quote
adamnreeves Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 A car build is only as good as the person / people building the car, regardless of what back ground they come from, F1 engineer / race team etc. In terms of a selling point, putting some thing like that catches unknowing Joe publics attention. ( would you really have an advert that says built by an IT engineer?! ) I'm a F1 engineer, so does this mean in you're view my car build is going to be of poor quality and will fall apart at the first corner?! Hummm.... Agreeing with your first two paragraphs. Last paragraph, I've seen your car and it is impeccably put together so don't take my ramblings personally. Quote

peterg Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 You seriously think McLaren haven't been putting enough effort into their F1 car Quote

Gromit Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Scott, those tubs of popcorn, what sizes do you do them in? Quote
lippydave Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Cap'n C yer missing a trick with that popcorn.... At least according to one of the daft burds on tonight's episode of The Apprentice.... She suggested that biscuits become the new popcorn.... what the devil? That's as daft as suggesting that race designers and engineers couldn't build an effective road car isnt it ? I'll get me nomex race suit..... Quote
adamnreeves Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 what the devil? That's as daft as suggesting that race designers and engineers couldn't build an effective road car isnt it ? Aren't all road cars designed by engineers. They aren't all as effective. Quote
