Martins shell was dipped, and weirdly he was talking to Sean a while ago about changing the angle of the screen but decided it was too much work.

After hearing about Simons two door Evo, Martin texted me that he is going to do a 4 door Escos

That Evo is soooooooooooooooooooo cool. Don't particularly like the look actually, but I love the ideas and the amount of work, thought and money thrown at it

when you see this car for the first time you just keep walking around it shakin your head,goin f**kin hell and then you keep noticing different things.The photos dont actually show how short,low and wide this car is, the boot and wings are carbon as well but he had them painted this cars speed will be measured in time zones not MPH

A few people have commented on the 'look' of it. And I thought it looked OK this morning, but now I think it is awesome. I love the colour (Norris corporate colour) and I think it looks hard as nails. I have just gone and compared an Audi Quattro to the short wheelbase one and you get the same initial "is that right" feeling, but after about 20 seconds its a deffo "YEAH MAN THAT ROCKS"

I can't wait to see it in the metal... or should that be carbon.

Well done again Simon and friends!!!

I know Martin has the upmost respect for Simon and sees him as the man to beat, so COME ON MARTOOOOON, get those competitive juices flowing, and get that 9" grinder out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like the colour scheme, I much prefered the more subtle white livery on the Evo 8..But wow what a car and a idea! Amasing

Wow, if it hits it's targets it won't get beaten in years Except maybe, by a jet plane or something


Martin, get your angle grinder out mate

Holy fuck fucks

Sorry im late with this but been in Doncaster and they dont have running water oop north, never mind the internet

Simon told me about the targets and specs for this car early this year, but he kept it totally secret what actual shell it was going to be
Cant believe he did that, rumour was it was gonna be a new Mitzi Colt, but fuck me thats a LOT cooler

awesome

although I have built 3 complete cars this past year 2 off which start with a bare shell and I cut 85% of that out!haha the other started as tube in a rack and alloy sheet in total equall'd a super pro dragster running low 7's.

this project mentioned above is not a drag car its a street weapon, more for style but peformance will be good due to the choice of engines, oops .
