Seems a bit silly building a car like that to go everywhere at 30mph.

According to Passionford, Martin held it perfectly straight with no actual drama (other than the tyre ripping the panels apart).

Good effort I say.

going in a straight line?

what im saying is,a rear blowout if your going straight is controllable, a front is near impossible at those speeds

Why is the roof damaged then? Mirror has been knocked off too! Did it hit anything else?

That's nothing, they'll have that fixed up in no time as they know what they're doing Shame though, guess it's what happens when you tune a car to that extent though

thread is here (dont think non members can read it though ? )

http://www.passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=294446

My favorite bit though












[quote="martin-reyland"][quote="miller3"]Martin i think the question on everyone's lips is are you going to repair the old girl mate.



That was never in question!

Don't forget I have another shell that's all prepped and only needs paint if the worst happens!
