RE: SVM Qashqai R hits the strip!

Indeed. Imagine if this white GTR was stolen. Imagine it was YOUR (other posters not DMac) stolen car. Imagine if people on websites were still well happy for it to be "rung" (as in wrong ID attached to the car) Imagine that scenario. Given this GTR was never pictured with plates, the V5 was apparently got rid on purpose and now the chassis numbers are MIA since they've rung it as a Qashqai.
Those that think people are being pernickety. Are either stupid or wilfully ignorant to car crime.
Also as above, that car does not have 1150HP. It's not fast enough. Another shocker. SVM unable to quote true figures but have to sex them up a bit
Mate, regardless of what you think, it isn't very clever to accuse them of car crime on a public forum. I think you over stepped the mark and run the risk of bordering on defamation. What proof do you have apart from circumstantial evidence?Those that think people are being pernickety. Are either stupid or wilfully ignorant to car crime.

"IMAGINE" it's stolen. As in try and IMAGINE a HYPOTHETICAL scenario
NOT an accusation!
If you can't read, that's not my problem
But effectively they have RUNG the car. And that's dubious at best. That's why I'm annoyed people are so blasé about the ID of the cars. And the points system that's designed to stop this sort of thing. The same points system that apparently now the DVLA and VOSA have forgotten about???
And how certain posters on here seem not to give a flying about what COULD (NOTICE "COULD" before you get in a fuss again!) happen if it becomes a free for all when it comes to project cars. Whover that might be
Just because it's an interesting car doesn't mean the rules shouldn't be followed.
Actually you stated people being pernickerty are stupid or ignorant of car crime, thus insinuating anyone objecting to you is ignoring the apparent crime committed here."IMAGINE" it's stolen. As in try and IMAGINE a HYPOTHETICAL scenario

If you read the build thread he mentioned a certain bonding and welding technique employed (which must have been checked). Is it possible it could be done well, and really have all the tech his other customers have to get the power stated? In your mind is that a possibility?
Pistonheads at its most embarrassing - really very embarrassing.
64 posts and more than half on whether its been correctly registered with the DVLA.
Its something very different, made by a british mob and literally follows the PH 'speed matters' mantra and all some of you can do is go on about the DVLA, car theft, accusations and is it still a Qashqai or GTR.
Then trying to purvey truth with Imagine this and Imagine that.

It hasn't been (officially).I must put out here that I have been contacted by the founder of SVM now a number of times in the last couple of hours (not via PH) to meet up and discuss this; what to do?
1. Turn up with VOSA and camera crew
2. Take the Ariel Atom and have a face off
3. Listen to what he has to say whilst drinking poisoned coffee
4. Buy it and delete all my posts

Well it does need checking if that isn't the case (obviously), but how can they accept it, but not check it? If you want to race it then it would make sense to put a full cage in (as you would any car).I must put out here that I have been contacted by the founder of SVM now a number of times in the last couple of hours (not via PH) to meet up and discuss this; what to do?

However Don, I think I would rather be in his car than an Atom in a crash

This is their 1200bhp GTR in action, against a car with 1/3rd of the power, granted the GTR is slow off the line but these are the slower runs for the other car too

I'm not going off his ET. i'm going off his mph. The weight quoted and his mph dont add up to 1150 hp, that's why i asked if he was backing off.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kHLD9aWLag

This thread seems to have turned into an embarrassment to PH
SVM have created something pretty cool and unique, and whether it has claimed power or if it's been registered correctly has become more of an issue than celebrating something as petrol head themed as it comes
I think if there selling this at 275k to someone then the way it's registered is a bit more important then wether it's cool or uniqueSVM have created something pretty cool and unique, and whether it has claimed power or if it's been registered correctly has become more of an issue than celebrating something as petrol head themed as it comes
