Alfalfameister is on a distinguished road
Default

Ron Champion's book is already being ordered...

But after a few days of thinking about it, I'm now not too hot on how the Locost looks (and all other Lotus 7s -- no offense to Lotus 7 lovers out there).

I really don't mind since I want to build a track car (that I can drive from time to time on the road), but if there are plans on the internet for sale that look like, say...

Turner Automotive's Coram
Ultima Cars Can-Am
Dynamic Performance Attack
even Westfield's XTR

(i.e., not Sevenesque looking cars)

...

Perhaps with information gleaned from Ron Champion's books (as well as other books like Valkenburgh's books, Herb Adams Chassis Engineering, Fred Puhns How to Make Your Car Handle, etc), do you think I can later on (as a second project perhaps) gain experience to end up designing my own chassis so I can make it look like any of the above?

Anyway, I ask too many questions... I'll wait for the arrival of Ron's book (4 to 6 weeks, I'm told), then ask more questions later.

Thanks for all your help!
