Hi folks I have decided recently to pay more attention to this
list. So I went back and looked at the DSF and then at the RBB and said
"why did we do all this work when half of it is here!?!?!?"
Now I have only writen here about three or four times - ie I am not up
on what is going on. But it seems to me that we only need to make
slight adjustment to the RBB to make a lot of things work.
Please not I may be totally wrong and all those equations there could
be based off page 109 in the book - but I don't think so.

I mean that we should look at page 109 in the book and change many of
our opinions

first of all is

Chassis
they should be cars pickups and vans
compact 1 bod small 2 bod standard 3 bod large 4 bod luxury 5 bod
not mini 1 small 1 med 2 lar 3 x-lar 4

then motor cycles well you get the picture.

Now many of you will say that the cars do not follow these rules
And my reply will be, but sir they do if you really look closely they do follow
it with modifactions.
Where do these modifications come from - why superior design
what do you think you do with those successes - reduce time only -
NO!!! you make the car 1 more aerodynamic
2 more efficient
3 give it more space
4 faster/better engine
you can also loose some of that wonder cf in leuw of better speed
this is how they create the eurocar and such - good design.

what you see on page 109 is the standard stuff
all we need to do is figure out the CF of each vehicle (we already did
sig) and the economy is done for us.

Remember my first post? it talked about using dice in car creation.
no one respond - so I have come back to haunt you (mu hah hah).

so i ask you - why are we waisting time with piddly stuff when
half of it is there.

I also did this to get some pick-up on an otherwise dead list

please do not flame - rather take a serious look at what I have
said - it is often good when designing things to take a look
back and throw things out, fix things or praise them.
