Further observations
A few more comments about this program...all IMO of course.
For what appeared to be very professional companies, I was shocked at the lack of progress between meetings.....racing car manufacturers are legendary
for turning stuff out quickly...it was almost as if they didn't want the job...
The choice of Reynard as a partner was baffling..the Caterham engineering guy (who came across very well IMO) spotted it too......Reynard were a good
high-tech racing car company, but had absolutely no idea about volume production down to price.......any good racing car designer could have come up
with some mind-blowing high tech solutions.....a sellable, producable product is what was needed.
Why look to replace the seven?...very puzzling...they admitted it was a growing market...just market share was being lost....surely it is easier to
win that back, than to try and replace your own icon.....IMO, they just have to get pricing back inline with common sense...can't be that hard,
the others do it...
What they need (IMO) is a very basic lower priced starter model...the heritage without the price...

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Wasn't me. Wasn't rude enough or funny enough
Plus I happen to know the correct Wilde quote is "looking at the stars" not "to the stars"... Lady Windermere's Fan I
believe.

Was you
And the quote was a cut and paste, so you maybe right, but you still have too much time on your hands
