In wheel suspension!
Very compact suspension system, but will it give you any handling?

Things like this have been around for a long time -- Dubonnet System, Morgan Sliding Pillar reasons than aren't used they aren't used are
two fold , lack of suspension vertical movement and lack of camber change. Only thing new in this one is that it uses void bushes as a kludge.

It's an outside toilet round here

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Dont forget Trident that Pete comes from Derbyshire where men are men and sheep get nervous and most blokes girlfriends are called baabaabera, where
they do things a bit different, a kludgie may be the current user of the kludge.

Bob

From a Locost related point of view the sliding pillar type arrangement as used on Morgans was also used on Robin Hood 2Bs. However, most people
disliked the regular greasing required by this system and "upgraded" to the twin wishbone system.
IIRC the zero is twin wishbone as standard...

Not quite the words that came to mind last Sunday
I seem to remember 'stewards' featured quite heavily though.
