Amazing the BiB haven't pulled you with those funny plate fonts!

Very envious of those able to drive their cars!

Just a quick question and in no way a critisism, mine went through sva so small front arches, are yours personal choice or is that what is required for the iva. very nice car.

Most certinatly was, had a long trip ...left North shields 1pm, too heburn, quick blast with fellow locosters around gateshead, then picked up mate (also building a MNR) too winlaton, then through rowlands gill too moors, through stanhope and then north on a68, back onto military road to lemington and then back to wallsend the long way, via westerhope and coast road- arrived home at 6pm 1 and 1/4 tanks of fuel used lol


EDIT - had sunglasses on the whole day, just got out of showere and ive got a pink face guess this is a 7 type burn

That's a good looking car.

I see what you mean about the front arches though - they are just too big! Though with care, they can be trimmed into a good shape. Hopefully you still have some of the paint to make good afterwards...

Excellent, you probably noticed me (silver mondeo ) Good driving route in the good weather Must actually start on a fun car again once the house move is out of the way (and I have a decent sized garage hopefully)

mudguards are the safest I've ever see! no danger of dragging poor pedestrians under your wheels like them

Thanks.

im going at them with the grinder today, saying as my dremal decided too die

adithorp - 9/4/11 at 10:38 AM

I think MNR supply them like that. If you have them long rather than cutting them down it's supposed to reduce the lift they cause. I read somewhere that at something like 100mph there's something like 50kg lift per wing. Thats from my very poor memory so don't hold me to that; It could be bo***cks.

Krismc - 10/4/11 at 07:18 PM

Im thinking of putting vents in the top back side of the arches to reduce drag as per kit car mag wind tunnel testing.
