better picture with the "driver"

been posted before- sorry to burst your bubble, rain on your parade....

Doesn't bother me at all

Thanks Mr Mueller..its the first time I've seen it

Paul, you think it really needs all that sheet metal?

Waaaay toooo heavy.
Here is the pic I posted a few weeks ago.

Start by telling the driver to take his big-ass shoes off.

Paul

page 3 of the article has them in socks, no shoes

What they need is that guy from the Basket Case movies.

Interesting approach to deformable structure for frontal impacts. The head and neck!

At least the X-game downhill laydown skateboarders go feet first. That always looked like fun to me.

Yea, the head is more aero that the feet.

The actual vehicle was at the PCA Santa Barbara Concours a couple weekends ago. (Yeah, I know, I supposedly swore off the CW thing, but this was like 2 miles from my house and I flogged the 914 in the canyons afterwards).

It was really cool....all carbon/composite from what I could tell, and looked like some very clean fab work. High end (Phil Wood) wheel hubs, carbon rims, etc. Can't tell by looking at it necessarily, but I am sure that some high tech aero optimization was done too.

The sun was friggen blazing that day so the lighting wasn't great for detail pics.

GAWRK!!!

Brad crashed the club, and caused me to miss that one.

Now we know where Mike Mutilator gets all his "eccentric" ideas

are those Fuchs?
