Definition of Optimism in Pictures

[Keith]

This is obviously a Locost builder with limited skills and probably poor eyesight, but with unbelievable optimism.

For non UK guys - this is one depot where the Single Vehicle Approval takes place. I don't think it passed...:stunned:

I've no idea how the SPY fotos of the 2010 Termite-GT leaked out... :furious:

Here's the current 2009 Spec Touring Coupe edition;

Too KOOL! I want to build a replica of that one. Randy, where did you find it?

I like the black car. Better to build something than sitting on a couch playing video games. Too bad that the builder was not gifted with an eye for anything. But it is a finished car ready to be inspected.
And giving our current downturn in automotive design maybe 30years from now it will actually look good. Kinda like 356 Porsches look good now while they were the ugliest blobs on the road in the sixties....

Yeah, a 356 "Outlaw" coupe. Great!

 

[Dave P]

Any info on the builder of the black car?

It was posted a couple of weeks ago - going for SVA - it didnt pass!

((Giving away my secret - Shhhhhhh))

I just did a gOOgle Images search for Wooden Car and I found it a couple pages in. I'm sure you can find the same link I did and it will take you to the website.

When I first saw it - I thought of the GT90 exercise here in terms of the various slabs of wood being used to create the body buck. Do you suppose he's creating a buck with that?

Let us know how that works out for you!

To Mike Wegener's point - Quite true in all regards..
And to this day - I still have a hard time appreciating the ((Ahem)) beauty of the P-356...

Randy, I'd make it a wooden electric car for the grandkids...
looks like simple and fun.

Randy, it's the idea. Very simple to loft out.
