I seriously cannot see how on earth you begin to place things out such as, height of transmission, engine, suspension. . etc
Truly astonishing but we all know Andy and team are more than capable on this.
you best keep this thread documented to the hour Carlo....its a different league now, hardly a bloody restoration,rebuild or a poxy project...
its the making of the car Ford need to build.

While I'm here the reason for no space framing in TA is simple....cost....and the way that we want to keep the cars entered as true to chassis road manufactured as poss, ok this is and will be pushed to the limits (as seen by the Autosportif Subaru this year) but its all about reducing the risks of too much money being thrown into a project that could destroy the rest of the field and so spoil the basis of it all, this is why we dont allow slicks as well because the Series is 'street based' and always will be
I saw Andrews car at the Performance Ford day at Brands and it looks the nuts and rest assured if we ever have a Superduperletshaveanythinggoestothemaxmodified TA Class then he's someone I'd love to see put down some times

Seen the first car a couple of times this year on track and it was the most amazing car iv layed my eyes on one hell of a beast made me stand on end never mind my hair...... and i though you could'nt improve on perfection.... well im wrong a 100 times over then arnt i.
stunning work mate..... i should think every man and his dog would give there right arm to own something like that, your very talented its one thing to take a sierra or ecsort and mod it and big brake it.... BUT to build a car from scratch like your doing thats something special.
Great work well done.

Oh and I know he's moving his engine around now but prior to this at all TA events it was transverse I'm sure !!!!!I would LOVE to Martin sort his car and see him kicking some arse as I am sure its more than capable, actually I'd love to see any Cossie do it, I had a chat with Tommy Field at Brands as well and he may be up for it, time etc., allowing.
I'm actually a Cossie supporter at heart (essex boy and all that
) so want to see them do well so lets face it if I was going to be biased and favour anyone it would be you boys, but I wont and cant so if it fits in the rules its in and if not its not............Glen

I dont think he would win with ease at all ! haev you even looked at some of the cars in TA
His car has certainly got a chance of doing well, and maybe he could win it but I doubt it.
Get the pics up Carlo, this thread makes me moist

For every person building a spaceframed Focus to run this year, there are 10 people building equally rediculous cars specifically for TA this year. I don't think anyone will "easily" win Time Attack this year.
