Neat Cobra knock off, but is it 'Art' ?

I wonder how much swarf was produced in the making of this vehicle?

Look at the 'Chassis' chapter, if nothing else.

It's almost a parody. I suppose we aren't allowed to mention that billet wheels are less durable than properly made cast ones?

The body section is good, that's how Astons were made 25 years ago.

Are you thinking this car will see a lot of miles?! From the garage to the trailer, is my guess...

Rich people seem to get bored pretty quickly

Well, I was more taking a dig at the whole 'billet' religion.

Billet got so excessive/pervasive it inspired a backlash movement...

Is a "billet" that appliance the French Ladies use in the toilet?

Greg - my thoughts entirely.

i sometimes watch the US 'hoytod' programmes on the satellite channels and am amazed at all the 'made from a billet' parts that get used. OK if you're only ever going to make four wheels of that design or one gearknob, but a billet chassis??
