I still want a Formula car, even if it's a Vee.

Don't do it, you have so much for which to live! (with regards to Vees).

Me too

I am glad to see that it is more important to help than it is to race.. I would like to autocross one of these...

Where were the corner workers?

I think there was only one or two, and they needed one more person to turn the car over.

Didn't you have one as a project in your garage for a while? IIRC that I wanted to make a sim chair out of it but it was too much money for me to destroy it like that.

How about a Formula Ford powered 1974 Lola 340??

Send me a message if you'd like details......

What does this mean? Is there some huge problem with Vees? I'm shopping off/on for one. It's amazing what $4000 will buy.

This was a pretty cool rework of a formula vee car:

Am I the only person that expected to see a wealthy oil magnate built like Chris Farley crying that he'd soiled himself and his leg was cramping and couldn't get out of his car? (Fat guy in a little car)

Glad to see they watch out for each other... Unless it was a best friend or relative or a fun run man that would be a tough call.

Did someone say formula? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmZMwk14r4c

Someone please tell me that the driver had purposely loosened his belts and was almost out from under the car, not what it looked like... Plus the reporter's kinda hot...

Any more info?

Hmm, I've seen one autocrossed and I wasn't that impressed. I don't think they are a good fit to be competitive unless it's against another FV.

Yeah, I bought a Titan Formula Ford chassis but shortly thereafter, I had hand surgery and couldn't climb in or out of it. It was in my basement for about a year and then I sold it on eBay.

I would think, otherwise, I'm not sure he'd have been available for an interview.
