Certainly hope SCG does well and I might see one on the road someday.

Quite a long stream of thoughts article with a few repeated ideas though, I look forward to the "official" SSO take sometime in the future.

I am hoping to be able to sort out a test drive in May

Sounds like it could be quite the drivers car with the heavy clutch sorted.

And a cupholder :lol:

My guess is I will not find the clutch quite as "heavy" given my car history.

Your 6'3" broad-shouldered buddy shouldn't be skipping leg day :D

Honest comment?

I didn't bother reading it because (IMO of course) it was just far too long

If it had been 20% the size I probably would have done

Also having the photos fade in is totally unnecessary and rather annoying

This isn't meant personally (of course) but these are the things that put me off actually reading it...

What's going on with the interior? Ignoring the wacky colour scheme it looks like something that belongs in a badly made kit car?

I found it too long also, so only scan-read big chunks.

The car looks interesting, and the weight comments are particularly nod-worthy. Although I had to mentally convert everything from lbs into real values.

The prototype car interior is purest Peter Stringfellow, although the plain colours in the CGI looks a million times better. The wheel doesn't look like a quality item though IMHO.

Keen to see the end result.
