lol

oh dear worst looking car ever

I assume from the shape that it runs on AA batteries and can be bought from Ann Summers!!

You would need a VERY large paper bag!

Ermmm .... no

I love the quote they chose


"Imagination is more important than knowlege."

Just what you want to hear from someone whose design you are trusting your life to!

nearly as cool as a Robin Reliant


Davey D - 10/2/11 at 06:31 PM

looks like something Homer Simpson would design


rf900rush - 10/2/11 at 06:34 PM

That's a special kind of bad

Dreadful directional stability, weaving all over the road and the driver sawing away at the wheel.

Probably due to the fact that the front wheel is not in the middle!

I hope it cannot exceed 20 mph, for everyones safety.

What's a Robin Reliant? is it like an Escort Ford or an Astra Vauxhall?

Stevie wonder designs car

I have sat in the background long enough, I'm not not happy that people can critisise other peoples efforts, after all what have they done? I was getting more and more wound up, until that is I had a look at this beauty.

I cannot find it in my heart to say anything positive! That is a first for me, even if it's hideous there is usually some element of the design that is worth considering as part of another project

Cheers

Good on the guy for finishing the build and getting it on the road. Its all to easy to sit criticising someone else's design when yours was sold as a project 12 months ago.


steve m - 10/2/11 at 10:08 PM

Its crap

I think all of us here fully apprecaite the time effort and money that can be put into a dream and this is never in doubt.
Nor do we set out to deride that effort even if the finished article is not to our particular taste.

It's still crap


adithorp - 10/2/11 at 10:25 PM

More twitchy than smack-head looking for a fix.

Looks like Homer Simpsons version of the Pink Panther car.


Ninehigh - 10/2/11 at 10:25 PM

Actually to be fair it looks decently put together (didn't see much of it) just could do with a revision of the layout


skydivepaul - 11/2/11 at 12:35 AM

shit at any level
waste of time......as said it looks like homer simpson reinvented the pink pather car


Snuggs - 11/2/11 at 06:51 AM

I can see what he was going for but a single headlight would have perfected the illusion
