has anyone read the review on the mev atomic in may's complete kit car mag?
was just looking at the design and could not help thinking that the driving position may take away some of the fun of a single seater.i have never driven a single seater with central driving position but most who have say thats the great thing about them. cant really see how this will differ from a typical 7 design apart from the weight reduction! its not that i dont like it because i do.what i dont see is where it will fit into the kit car scene?

this one?


er, i think it looks terrible. not the best looking car i've ever seen, only 1 seat (whats the point really) and looks like it would just fold up in a side on...

this has been covered before .... got a little heated.

Has anyone else got any pictures of hte car - i've just noticed what appears to be the prop angle. I was worried about mine which is less than that. I thought you needed them almost inline.

thats the car. i dont think its terrible but was just wondering why someone would buy this over something like a roadrunner sprint R,which has central driving position and similar weight?

I guess its all down to personal choice really. I like it and id have one but there are others id rather own/build first but i wouldn't say no to one.

I don't mean to point out the obvious here, but I think the point with MEV's car's are that he is building stuff that "turns him on". And I guess he's hoping that other peple like it too, and if they do, then he'll get a few sales out of it and then move on to his next project!

He's designed some pretty advanced stuff in the past, but now he just wants to have a right old go at what is possible to put out there and have fun with.

I do appreciate people's comments, but at the same time I think that just because it's not necessarily "you're" cup of tea, doesn't make something bad - it just makes it suitable for someone else other than "you"...

No offence meant obviously, and I am a couple of "Pierre's" the wrong side of business smart etc...
