It's not blind love!
But it seems to be rather misinformed...

I don't know if you are right or wrong, but who was talking about the Fighter? My comments specifically mentioned V8 Bristols.

I think your original comment was "When you make cars costing £150,000 and above, you find a reliable mechanism and you fit it. Excuses smacks of laziness to develop and progress and to make the car a better and more passenger friendly car."

If you check your facts you will find that the Blenheim and the 411 series 6 both have integrated air conditioning behind the dash BUT still maintain the original Bristol theory of keeping air conditioning and fresh air supply separate, which means that "fresh" air is exactly what you get rather than air passed through the heater matrix which is heated even when the heater is switched off (due to residual heat) by probably at least 5 degrees.

It seems rather against you "lazy theory" to me. You can't tell me that it is easier to produce your own system rather than use a cheap one off a run of the mill production car?

Perhaps you need to become more familiar with the dreaded V8s...

How do you know it's not straight out of the Viper?
I'm afraid I've checked my facts and it is a specially developed computerised system which is as up to the minute as you can get!

Isn't that where the chassis came from?
Sorry Kevin but the chassis has been no where near a Viper. I've driven one and also been in a Fighter and there is no comparison. The chassis is a completely modern one of aluminium and high strength steel with integral race car roll over bars built specially for the Fighter.

I don't mind considered comment about Bristols but I hate it when it is based on misinformation and "urban myth"!
