Some finished pics

Took the car out to get some decent pics now its cosmetically finished.

About time really, the last proper pics are about 6 months old.

Over 2000 miles now, without any major problems *touch wood*

I thought you couldn't fit a wooden steering wheel these days!

Seriously though, looks GREAT David, well done.

Bet it has given you lots of

Despite GTS's problems they do produce a damn fine looking kit.

You should be very proud of yourself as that is a stunner and great photo's too.

Well done.

Dang, that a fine looking car you made yourself there young man.


roadrunner - 23/10/07 at 07:09 PM

Very nice, great colour too.

Nice to see some off your car.
Good looking car. Now i'm sure i won't use much chrom as the black is nice.

Where you outside GB as the sun is shining?

Better then those scary lads in your avatar

I look forward to seeing it in the flesh

That's some of the best fitting bodywork i've seen on a Locost. Lovely car.

Alan B - 24/10/07 at 11:28 AM

Beautifully finished Dave, very nice indeed.
I reckon some black stone chip guards on those rear arches will finish them off just right, what you think?


TimC - 24/10/07 at 05:18 PM

'tis a cracking effort - you can't be happy with the exhaust though - particularly when the rest of the car looks so spot-on?


damien - 25/10/07 at 07:13 AM

youve done a great job there well done


DarrenW - 25/10/07 at 10:40 AM

Very nice indeed. Must have taken you a while to get the shut lines so close. A real credit to you.

Please explain? Im curious. Look OK to me. V pointing down to road at front of tyre - same as all others ive looked at iirc.

Thanks again guys.

I do need to sort some stone guards for the rear arches, its on my to-do list, but not sure when I will get around to it. Likewise the exhaust wrap is going to come off and be re-done over the winter.

As for thunderace's comment, he is talking out of his arse as usual The tyres are clearly marked for rotation, and they are right.

Balls!!! I didnt make it home in time for Bruntingthorpe.

Nice job, Mr. Flak. Now, did you end up with decent marks at uni, or did you slag all that off to produce the beautiful fibreglass, rubber and metal we see before us????


Macbeast - 28/10/07 at 02:34 AM

He did extremely well RK. I believe he enjoyed the social side as well

Graduated in July with a 1st class honours in Manufacturing Engineering and Management, and was awarded the IET Student prize too. So I think I did OK

Social side was great, and is now what I miss more than anything.

Then you're a bastard.





Good for you!


ed_crouch - 8/11/07 at 09:02 PM

Still, with a degree like that from Warwick, you should be able to get on a decent grad scheme, and some of the corporate graddie bashes can be quite drunken and debaucherous...

Win or lose, its all about the booze... Or something like that anyway
