I disagree!, It's not a stupid comment, as I suspect there are many normal club drivers who feel they have had to spend money on the car to improve/tame the back end in low grip situations and improve reliability, A few people to be fair have said they have had little problem with ware in the transmission, but most have been a little disapointed in the ware rate.
I think it is fair to say that when the grip is low (damp grass or wet astro) the car can be a wild ride that few enjoy. And I'm no expert, but I would suspect that this chassis is part of the answear to this problem.But at 70quid for chassis and top deck, it's no cheep option,if you have already bought the exsisting soft top deck, and diffrent top link mounts etc costs are adding up

I never look at team drivers results to see how good a car is, As you are a very talented bunch, If I gave you a shoe box with Schumacher on the side, four wheels and a motor , you would most lightly still be a lap in front of us clubies.

Don't want to start an oople handbag fight, I respect the fact you are a quality driver who has stuck with schumacher through thick and thin.

I respect the fact that schumacher are always working on making the car better and solve problems, But I think I and a few other are starting to feel is these improvements are starting to add up cost wise on a car that already has a hefty price tag for a club driver

Lastly, my post was a tong in cheek reply to the previous post, that i felt was a little ubrealistic to a fair few cougar drivers
