I couldn't watch that programme for more than 10 minutes as a time, as otherwise my screen was in jeopardy! The bloke was such an unbelievable moron that it became unwatchable.

Of course, what he should have done would not have made a TV series - he already owned a Phoenix or similar, which he should have made track-worthy and used for one season. This would have given him loads of experience, both on-track and in the workshop. THEN, he could have considered a one-off racer!

Just my humble opinion, of course...

they guy was a prick would never want to have any thing to do with him again

rjs - 4/1/07 at 02:04 PM

macnab - 4/1/07 at 02:05 PM

were's it on? the telly? never heard of it.

If someone had told me about the program without watching it, I'd have thought they were making it up !

The only thing it lacked were the strops breaking and the car crashing through the roof of the house

I think the comedy continues later tonight.

Now I'm no engineer but even I could see where he was going to have issues!
Hmm, let me put an untried drivetrain setup in the car and give up when it all goes screwey. The guy was a muppet, total head in the sand attitude. Very funny TV though

cct7kitcars - 4/1/07 at 03:54 PM

Met him a couple of times, wouldn't describe him as a prick though, misguided maybe.
He worked in TV had the idea but it was taken over by others and he was left as the fall guy, editing can be like statistics, make it say or look like what you want it too. The only thing he got out of it was the shed, the rest came out of his pocket.

I'm on a couple of episode too btw, look out for the GT1 at Mallory.

Is it downloadable anywhere?

For those of us who disapprove of digital telly?

Cheers,
James

Set it for series link, still aint seen it yet

The thing that strikes me about him, is his utter & total lack of self confidence in his abilities.
I know the Dominator isn't one of the most straight forward builds, but surely he would have been better with a kiddy mechano kit (westfield, Caterham etc.)

I think he left himself in the hands of the experts and they failed him...

I had MAJOR issues with my build, far worse than him, and MNR saw me thru it with some excellent support, something he didnt get from either car builder...

I know one of them is now advertising BEC versions, probably the other one is as well... if they are both in business... shame they didnt provide it and some engineering know how for tv

Shame he didn't go to MK for help!

It's not like they don't know the design pretty well!

Cheers,
James

the build of the dominator was quite easy and for the lack of suport that mark got the car was built by any one but him he didnt have a clue should of seen him off camera but hey i have nothing to do with the dominator or does he call himself pulse cars now far as i know he only sold two cars and the chassis for the tv show should of never been used but who am i to say any thing

andrews_45 - 5/1/07 at 05:00 PM

Was the dominator a MK 'rip off'? A few of the things on that chassis look very similar to my MK bits? For example, the steering column mount points and wishbones

tul214 - 5/1/07 at 05:00 PM

Joe,

Purely out of interest......what is/was your connection?
