^^^^ that doesn't look at all bad. I'd buy it but then waht do I know.

Best looking Throbbing Hood ive have ever seen.

Wonder if he has driven it far,cos with 200+ bhp he would need a team of mechanics to collect all the bit and repair the broken welds!!

I am quallified to say that as i had the misfortune of buying an Exmo as my first kitcar many years ago,Bl--dyhell that was sh1te!!!

No you're not qualified to say that. A car you bought many many years ago may have been sh!te but that was 3 company owners ago and probably different welders.

Would you say Skoda's are still crap just cos you owned one 20 years ago and that was crap?

If you were a coded welder and had inspected the Zero chassis then you would be would be qualified to make comment on the quality of the work.

If the welding and build quality of the Zero is so bad that things fall off then why do they get through the IVA so easily? I assume VOSA doesn't have the same expierence and knowledge in car construction that you have. I think you need to remove your head from your arse before slating another company on out of date facts.

the basic root of the ignorance regarding GBSC comes from the fact that the older cars made by robin hood were somewhat agricultural, and some of the monocoque cars did have issues.

However the current output of vehicles, such as seen is this video is of a very similar design and space framed construction to locost type vehicles, so few complaints there i presume? If anyone has any doubts about the quality of the kits, they should pay a visit to GBSC and take a look, and hopefully they will be pleasantly surprised.

I'm a metallurgist by trade, so if anyone wants their welds examined they can come to me
