I spotted this at it's debut in Long Beach four years ago, managed to get a feature done on it the week after. The arches are seperate, yet where they meet the body the weave matches  Then there are the faintly ghosted lines in the gel to echo the body lines. The fact that the fire extinguisher system has been fitted in such a way that when removed it doesn't alter the weight distribution. It is painfully good, even having seen it in the carbon I still got a little giddy seeing it here. Repost or not, that thing is the law  Oh and he's building an MX5 based N600 for his wife, so you can imagine how nice that's going to turn out |

Found the pics on a hardrive... Here's the arch to body weave match up.  Now the ghosted lines to give the body some depth.  Pictures or it didn't happen, underpaid, underweight and over there... In need of a haircut. Good times ;D

Hadn't seen those pics before Bryn MX5 N600! That's going to be fun. It might give PaulW some silly ideas as to what to do with his too ;D |

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable. |

Sometimes I look back through my pictures and feel like I'm looking at somebody else I need to drop Mike an email to see how that N600 is getting on, last time I checked in a year or so ago it was nearly done. When I get some time I'll resize and uploaded some pictures of what's in the building behind... the owner came out and balled at us, then mellowed and opened his doors |

The Z600 is such a cool little car at the best of times but this is stunning and well worth the pearoast. I'd love to see a video of it running at full pedal (that youtube one above looks like he's testing it or getting used to it?). Still, a stunning creation and hats off - I'd love a go in it!!

Wow, just wow.

My jaw still hits the floor when I look at the pictures of this beast I right-clicked-saved from your America road trip Bryn. Nice job on finding some more Weasel, this is a pearoast of the highest caliber ;D Such an awesome car creation, and amazing attention to detail getting the carbon all lined up like that  Bryn, do you have any more pictures of it? And the MX5 version sounds just as nuts. |
