I'm amazed that someone could build such a thing and have such a poor grasp of the language that they speak... I know which is more difficult.

Rear wheels are only just sat inside the arch,& for someone who build race cars for a living i'd expect them to be better educated.

Looks like they're poking out a bit!
Just looks like it's on some wonky camber, for that one wheel only.

Bit harsh, I knew a guy who could barely spell "petrol" yet was one of the most insanely talented fabricators and machinists ive ever seen.
But I know what you mean.

The thing is your mate who had a passion and was insanely talented probably would have written an ad explaining how well it was put together, not that it was puar rapid and showed the big boys what was what lol.

I just assume that someone with the ability to do such a thing would also be able to spell, I mean why not? They're clearly intelligent and if they're capable of learning to do that, then surely capable of learning basic English? Baffles me.
EDIT: Not really a criticism as such, it baffles me in the same way Matt can make amazing burgers yet can't fry an egg.
