It's not quite my favourite R500, and the red steering wheel is a bit jarring, but otherwise I quite like it :mrgreen:

You’re not allowed to comment until you get your own R500 :P

The red thing is just the elastic cover to keep the wheel clean in the workshop.

Chris wears a steering wheel cover like that whenever he's in the kitchen.

Just read the article - Great advertisement of your work Dan. Plus a day out at M-Sport - That's a special place.

Have you managed to arrange Chris Harris to test it yet?

Without wishing to pry, is the press coverage converting to interest in your services?
Haven't sold any cars yet, but the interest its generating is huge. I've got enough work to last 12 months as it is so if I start selling cars too I need to expand quickly, which is why i've brought in some outside help with masses of experience on the manufacturing side.
Excellent news, hopefully it keeps up and keeps you all in beer tokens - well done and well deserved!

Great article 8-)


I’m almost disappointed all these articles never have a photo of the crank you’ve put in the engine, that was a work of art by itself :lol:
