Colin Chapman quotes on engineering

3. Make the suspension adjustable and they will adjust it wrong -- look what they can do to a Weber carburetor in just a few moments of stupidity with a screwdriver.

5. Any car which holds together for more than a race is too heavy. (Also tongue-in-cheek, as race cars must test and qualify before the start of any race.)

7. Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere.
