dave must be a very clever guy i understand he is a cad engineer the chassis is a real work of art rose jointed wishbones totally adjustable and just over 50kg for the chassis


jacko - 19/11/09 at 08:39 PM

Yes he is a good bloke to know
and as mad as a HATTER on his bike
If you read this Dave only joking

is this the single seater we're talking about ?? as it isn't really a seven, Martin Keenan has recently produced a 2 seater Midi R1 rear engined you might want to look at his site mkengineering.co.uk. He has spent a lot of time on the geometry and aesthetics wellworth a look and a chat with him before jumping in there is also the MK lads who now manafacture out of a workshop in Maltby, on Aven industrial estate. The Indy R is a Mad Dave Design. and apparently the handling is awesome.


Sir Alan - 19/11/09 at 09:23 PM

asi understand kev and martin parted over a year ago this car is a seven doner is a mazda mx5 and is not being released till jan 2010 . this LSIS is going to open afew peoples eyes its not a makeover its been fully designed over the last 18 months. the demo car will be ready in 2/3 weeks
