Interesting... obviously a fake - I mean, look at the 'connection' to the suspension tower - but wood there is *not* a bad material - it's good in compression, dimensionally stable, light, and cheap.

Of course, the connection points would be the tricky bits - spreading the load there would require a bit of careful thought.

Going further, one could make the entire chassis from suitable timber - wait, hasn't that been done? Ah, yes: http://www.rory.uk.com/marcos_wooden_chassis.htm

Actually to start with I got the wrong end of the stick, I thought this was about "mad moderation", so as the guy got flamed I was expacting a rabid moderator to dive in and start lashing out rolleyes

I'm pining for a wooden car again... my first kit was timber and aluminium. Marine grade - it was guaranteed against ship-worm for ten years, and sure enough it never got any!
