Anyone remember this joke outfit from a few years ago?
Came out with a something called the skr a few years back. Did a PR thing on an airstrip and the car shat itself. Seem to remember it having an ls1 in the rear.
The last I saw, they had a Nelson equipped 'TKR' doing a world record attempt at Pendine Sands last year. Came out with a something called the skr a few years back. Did a PR thing on an airstrip and the car shat itself. Seem to remember it having an ls1 in the rear.
The driver lost control and spun it - losing the n/s door and some associated bodywork.

The TKR’s ultra modern fixed head two seat GT coupe bodyshell demanded extreme creative skills to translate the CAD design into a finite form and produce the body buck. Forced to turn to professionals outside of the UK, Keating finally contracted the crucial task of translating the CAD drawings into beautiful bodywork to specialists in the Philippines. Almost a year later the buck, mould and first complete shell arrived in the UK
"Forced" to turn to professionals outside the uk...
"quick we need a track variant of our car for some more column inches"
"no worries, take the red one over there and shove some stickers on it"
"what about modifications to the spec?"
"nah, just make some s
t up, nobody will notice"
I've seen better looking TR7 based F-40 kit cars than those things. Some of the panel gaps look to be visible from space.

Those specialists in the Philippines took a year to build one body from a CAD drawing. Good job they're only on 10p/hour.JR said:
