Siena is my man any day and I am not quarrelling with him to be honest and I like his approach what I do not like is the people calling others down

to be honest if we can have a start like this it will be good . I am just tired of the high western consumerism's of Nigeria . we need to start doing things

I think it's people like you that make fool out of yourself by doing the herd mentality

why use that term fool.

With all due respect, I will tell you this.

I have carried out automobile modifications here in the UK, that have been magazine featured by:

GTI Special #6.
Fast Car.
Performance VW.

Now when you modify cars in the Western world, these cars MUST have independent inspection, and once passed, will be issued with an engineer's report. This means the vehicle is deemed safe for use on public roads. Without these, you couldn't get the car through an MOT test. Meaning you couldn't register the car or tax it. Also, you would NOT get insurance.

All my cars pass inspection, despite very little remaining of the original cars. My modifications are safe, and functional. Just like my current 2 projects will be.

Here are some extracts from Fast Car Magazine. This was built in 1997, and went through 3 paint jobs, and 2 engine transplants. I won't give any more details, it's all perfectly legible, if you care to read:












yes

now these are the things engineers do that make me respect them and I think you earned it. I will love to s meet u when next I am in UK ..it seems you have many followers here and I am a different but to crack me but you won me


now what is your take on that keke thing ...what I expected from them is to make suggestions on how it can be bettered instead they wrote it off


it pisses me off.. so what's your take

Christopher, my take on the modified trike?

Honestly, there isn't much that can be done. When you extend the wheelbase on even a regular 4-wheeled vehicle, you also alter the Ackerman angle. It's a scientific fact. The same applies to this trike. Unfortunately, this will NOT favour handling. The angle between the steering rack (does it have one?) is way too steep.

There are tons of decent cars to modify, the trike just isn't one of them.

That old chestnut? The age-old defense the average Nigerian uses, in an attempt to get the upper hand in a debate.

Tell me something bro, how many qualified engineers do YOU know, who have manufactured components in let's say a cordless drill, despite being qualified for 30-odd years?

There are more engineers who throughout their useful working years will NEVER manufacture a car. This does NOT make them any less qualified than the minority who will go on to design and build power units.

Remodelling an existing vehicle into the mess above does NOT qualify one to be described as a major brain

Understanding the fundermentals behind how an existing engine works, and what makes a structure SAFE makes one worthy of praise, one who has done their homework, and who will go far in the automotive industry.

You have what it takes to make a social revolution, the black is weak in all angle hence their weak defence all the time.

Prattle talk? No better than you stating my previous write-up was cràp. Meaning you have nothing useful to add to your previous effort. You've still failed to dissect my argument, you're simply making a blanket statement because it covers your inadequate knowledge of anything technical.

Compliment the guy that messed up a perfectly good trike? Why would I do that, when he's achieved nothing?

And please, stop playing the "seeing black as inferior to white" card, it's useless here. Sentiment has no place when it comes to appreciating technology, regardless of which race were involved in it's production.

Just do you know, I'm a proud Nigerian, superior in my own field, and neither Negroes, Asian or Caucasian have any issues working under my direction.
