Not sure he'd actually let you drive if it he doesnt know you but richie is mega easy going im sure he'd take you out in it if you asked nicely.
He likes showing stuff off anyway.

I just thought the subtlety was nice for a change. Partial sleeper.
Really like it. And guess what? No shitty stickers!
I went through all 42 pages, that is batshit mental but awesome! (I know I already commented)
+1! Amazing work
That rear suspension set up is amazing! Needs to get it mapped and get some videos up ASAP

Anyone know what that setup of suspension is called?
Lol, you should have seen his tiger striped saph if you want stickers, oh how we used to love ripping him for that, not that he cared, richie is cool and builds his cars for him and cares not a lot what others think TBH!
Yes, assuming you mean the rear its still just called "mcpherson strut", but it has a two piece trailing arm made from two rose jointed arms and also has a track control arm setup to give better control.
Front is just bog standard mac strut.

So pretty standard setup then?
Is it just a matter of having 2 rods instead of an arm - reducing unsprung weight? Why would that give better control.

No its not a pretty standard setup TBH mate.
Its got 3 arms in total not two.
Two rosejointed arms in place of one TCA mean that he can adjust rear toe and they are very light, and then the trailing arm that is connected as well takes the loads forwards and back to allow the trailing arm not to have to control all that force, which again helps them get away with being light.
And because he is doing toe control on the two piece TCA, it means he doesnt have to run a seperate arm for that as well like I have on my mid engied RWD nova for example which still runs a conventional single arm with balljoint rather than the twin rose jointed arm:

Agreed, one of my favourite vehicles ever, was even good on fuel as it worked on LPG on low boost so for around town it wasnt expensive to run at all.
fecking noisey though, lol
Yeah it was an epic sleeper, in fact I wrote a feature on it which was in Fast Ford magazine when they did a sleepers special.
