Reply to "Anybody know this speedster?"

Don't know the car but the side view of this Vintage Speedster reinforces my complaint about Kirk/VS not being able to do a better job at trying to center the front axle/wheel placement in the body front fender arch. 

I have a 2000 VS and its not as bad as this, but the front axle and front wheels are still positioned relatively rearward of the body front wheel arch.  I mean after 15 plus years couldn't he iterate the front axle placement towards the front of the car maybe just a few mms a year to hit center target. 

I remember before I bought mine, I met with Kirk and was talking with him about a build and I mention this very thing, and he said that yes he could move the front axle a little more forward if I wanted.  First I felt great because Kirk was willing to build a car the way I wanted.  But then I thought, hey am I the only one that am able to see this glaring issue ?  Has nobody ever brought this issue up before ?

Listen, I know we all love it and accept Kirk and the cars he makes for a relatively inexpensive price . . . but really.

Just my thoughts.  Other that that, and the price, I like this white one if I was in the market.
