heh heh, i went to a seminar by a guy from the UK (Rudd) who specialises in automotive composites...

an example was the Aston Martin "Vanquish" (iirc)
aluminium space frame, 1 piece carbon fibre trans tunnel (thats one big sheet of CF!!) etc etc.
all the structural parts are either aluminium or carbon fibre/epoxy, and the non-structural parts are GRP. the composite panels are glued to the aluminium frame...
gluing can actually be much stronger and give more rigidity than having spot welds every few inches on the bendy edges of sheet metal panels...

as for zapping, if you have fluffy polyester seat covers (like i do for rego time) and you slide in and out wearing cotton or synthetics.. oh man... ZAAAAAAAP!!! but with just the plain silvia seats, no zaps at all!! i vote for the clothing zap.. wearing anything new recently??

then again, when air humidity is low for a while, thing start charging up, simply cos the surface static that is on everything doesn't dissipate via air moisture...

take it like a man dammit Cool
Cya, Stewart
