Nothing ever came of this mate. IIRC a lot of prototyping was done on the guys car, who then never took it back to MSD for them to finish it off. I offered to lend them my car to allow them to finish it but they wanted to continue on the the car they had started with.

After four years of waiting around for this I gave up and sold the car. I think these guys should come clean and admit its never going to happen because I suspect there are quite a few other people like me waiting for this to happen who have been a bit let down tbh

You say that as though we have done something wrong!

It was a development project and one I spent thousands of pounds on. I want it finished as much as anywone but I am not willing to start again from scratch.
If the car comes back, I WILL finish it. If it doesnt, I wont... but how anyone can blame me for the car not coming back is beyond me!

Us too mate. Maybe one day Will can get her finished but I believe he has other priorities right now.

Hi guys, just to keep you in the picture...

I have just left the RAF, the last few years have been really bad for me regarding time to work on the car, getting it to a standard that I am happy to give to Stu to map. There is no point IMHO of giving them a car that has issues that need sorting out before they actually develop what they are meant to be doing.

Trust me, the amount of £££ I have spent on the car, along with all the niggly issues that keep popping up, it has been a hugely frustrating few years for me... I am hoping now that I am out of the RAF and soon to be earning decent money again ( I have spent 5 months unemployed doing a full time training course that has cost well over 10k) that I can get the far finished & sent back to MSD.

I appreciate it has taken a long time, but sadly it is a hobby & not an occupation for me, so work HAS to take priority

Still, I promise you ( and Stu who put a lot of work in) that the car WILL get finished, and will be returned to MSD for it's development.
