Him and Clarkson just look so odd with their skinny arms and legs and bloated stomachs. It’s definitely not age related either as they’ve been that for the last 15 years at least!

If the owner likes it, then it doesn’t really matter that I don’t really.
Wheels don’t work for me, but it is pretty amazing that they have replicated a wire wheel from billet:

Yeah, the colour is nasty too, makes the rear haunches look flat.
Not for me, especially when Eagle are doing it right.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
The more I look at the Foose one, the worse it looks. I get why they extended the sills, but now the sill is really low in front of the rear wheel, then the tail behind the wheel starts way higher. Same at the front.

I hate the cigar tube balanced on axels look of the normal etype. Nice to see one messed around with in a different way, although as above, it still doesn't really work.

I generally don’t really like Chip Foose’s cars and this is another one.
He’s stuck with that 90s custom look and it’s way out of date.

This chap has a fair few 90s Tf vids. The bit you'll (not) want to see is at 7.30. When I watched it started with an ad for a company named oppo

Before we even get started on the colour, what is with those alloys? I know taste is a subjective thing, but there's clear cases where I just wonder HTF can someone's functioning brain think so differently to my own.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
Had to lol at some of this
Wonder how you'd go about properly mounting it, and controlling it so it's bypassed at part throttle and blends out at higher rpm without becoming a restriction.
Love the vtec yo kick when they hit the button on the test runs

Should work well on a 1.4 (and it looks like the battery pack would fit under the driver's floor), at least until the bottom end poops itself.

If you do nothing else today watch from about 3m10 to 3m20. The way george exits the diff is superb.

George is pretty active on The Lotus Forum. He tells me this is the Merc VIRS system. (Very Independent Rear Suspension)
Re: Decent car YouTubes
I watched that this morning as it popped up in my youtube feed after doing some yoga. Not really bothered about the De Cadenet chap but the car is awesome! It sounds bloody wonderful on those Ansa Megaphone pipes


ETA this lovely thing.
