How hard is it to design a car?!
For the last 2 years i have been working on a single design and it still overwhelms me!
The challenge is great - to design an electric car, i mean really design not just style it.
When i say really design a car, this includes designing the underlying structure, suspension, electric power-train, cabin, all the way down to how the brake rotors attach to the rims. All of which takes a lot of reading and thinking - how will the power train couple, how the power-train will influence the rotational momentum, how to mount the suspension to have optimal geometry and how will affect the structure stiffness, how will someone get in comfortably, how can they close the door easily, the list goes on and on, full of engineering and ergonomic dilemmas. Then on top of all that, how to wrap all of this in a body that provides access to all the necessary components, follows the heritage of a brand, is aerodynamic and most importantly captures the human imagination.
Yes the challenge is great and it feels like im stuck on this one car and cant move on, but i cant leave it to the greedy bastards to keep on making archaic cars.
Fire has been a double edged sword for human kind; it brought us heat and light but on the darker side our dependants on this has brought a lot of evil, from war to global climate change.

Back in action
Hi all,
Sorry for being inactive, i have a great excuse tho!
I bought an MR2 mk2 a month or so back, which then overheated, blew the head-gasket and acquired an oil leak as i was driving it home from the seller...
Being a car lover and a skint young man, i have set out to fix it all myself on the side of the road - im half way there :D
Anyway I got a few projects in mind after completing my actual car and i have spent great deal of time working on my tablet/3D techniques (thank you British weather) - more and better car design coming soon, hang on to your seats :)
Car design challange
This month we are desiging a truck :D
Finally got a first intrested memebr on the facebook group ( 'car design challange' ) , now we can have some serious fun!
If your into vehicle desing - check out the group :)
Life
Life is fucking good! Its so good because im on top of everything, like a machine with 100 arms.
Why am i on top of everything? Because im under pressure to get some money.
Why do i need money? Because im buying a car (MR2) this Friday and i dont have a penny to my name!
So then, can i make enough money in a week to buy a whole car?
And the answer is yes i can make that in a day, and if i can do that - theres nothing i cant do :D
Feel so good right now, had to share - maybe someone else will be inspired by this success.
Hard work pays off, dont avoid it - jump on it!
Cars
I have not done much design work lately, all my time is taken to run my life and do work.
On the plus side, time came to change my car. So far i owned a Clio mk1 champs, e30 325i touring and a e30 325i road rally car. Im in the process of swapping the rally car for a Clio mk1 Williams - i always wanted this car since i had the first clio. This will be a banging start to the year and im really looking forward to going for road trips in the summer :D
I will post my sketches of the 'Pimp Car' design challenge i started on facebook if anyone is interested in that kinda thing lol
