Cool stuff Greg. Well done.

Wow.

What a radical thing.

I wonder what it will feel like steering as you will swing a bit...

Keep up the great work.

Bvn we just have the drum brakes on the back of the bellytank and they are OK but we are considering putting some on the front to be sure. As soon as you lift off the wind resistance really makes itself felt and does all the initial slowing down at speed, and with your car being a lot less slippery ...

Now that is interesting!

Why isn't there grey bubble behind your bum as well though?

Is that a yes?

Oh that is so cool... I was thinking "why use tyres?" then the propeller driven toboggin thingy came into view. Excellent. Don't miss the pulse jet dogsled either... I reckon we should challenge those guys to come down here, swap tyres and we visit there. Might need a bit more than our 50m...

I am posting this website because I think it contains things that us DLRers find interesting... cars, chicks, music, groovy design and graphics. Some nice quotes too...

Nice work Ross on the Mod, but it extends beyond the body at the rear.

My guess is that it would it would improve stability by pushing the centre of pressure back but would increase the wetted area and hence drag whilst not improving the chaotic airflow around the rollcage...

Welcome Mossy.

All I can say is streamliner....

If you're going to build something single use, mosewell make it special.

Woohoo!!

That's great news, well done all concerned.
