New Caterham F1 car bleccchhhhh.....
I want to like Caterham because of the name.
However.
'kinell, but that's one ugly front on that car right there.
Apparently they're all going to look like that too.

Looks a bit like a duck billed platypus!!!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Yup, they're likely to all look fairly similar as the requirements are for a low nose and a high area around the cockpit etc etc. So most will
take it up the front suspension mounts low down then use the "radius" allowances for the front suspension to bulge the nose up to a second
higher level. When the big cheese says his beloved Ferrari ain't a looker you know you're in for some f'ugly cars....

Never liked the look of this 'generation' of F1 cars, and if that's the way they are going, they are getting worse.

I'm glad I looked at that before getting new glasses. I'd have to return them otherwise. I'm in pain.

Seems as they're going to be near the back of the grid all the time they could have at least made it pretty. Looking forward to them using the
line 'developed while racing in F1' on the 7 they sell

Surprised that Caterham (or whomever 'owns' the name currently) can source enough $$$ for a season of F1.
Clearly it ain't coming from the massive profits derived from selling Cats.

Tony Fernades bought caterham, (IMO, to use a known name that has links with lotus, as he was loosing his battle with renault to use the name Lotus.)
He is pretty well off http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Fernandes

Lets just hope they stay in business and don't go bankrupt trying to stay in this money sucking sport. Back of the grid can offted hurt road
sales if there is bad press with it.

Ah the Multipla, you know a car's ugly when even the sales people admit it's not a looker!
Shame cos it's cracking inside, that model had an optional fridge instead of the front middle seat
