Sorry to go off topic guys, but good to see you back Milt! There is a company in Vancouver called Intermeccanica (sure some here will know them). They're a manufacturer but I think they grandfathered all of the current, highly restrictive homologation requirements. But still, for a company like Singer and the level they play at, surely they could do so much more as a manufacturer. Sometimes I do appreciate the UK's approach to allowing kit cars and small builders to be registered, "as long as it's MOT'd".

Capt, that car is called Visio.M. It was a collaboration between Germany OEMs led by TUM. I was on the manufacturing side at the time so a lot of hands-on stuff. That's where I first saw acoustic emission stuff, too. We outsourced the front/rear metallic subframe work to a German company that usually fabricates tower crane cockpits and such. It was such a shock (for them and for me) to try to explain the "automotive" tolerances of +/- 2mm with regards to hole centres, etc. I thought it was way too loose, still nothing lined up and we ended up using a lot of different sledge hammers, some too heavy for me to even lift.

Which bits of the DLS did you work on, then?

Interesting detail with the steering wheel. I was thinking there is no way Momo would expose themselves with a composite wheel on a road-going car, et voila it seems to be more a carbon cover on top of a normal Prototypo-typo design.
