prob coz it cant go that fast

great concept, stainless steel and no stone chips to worry about, just a shame they did'nt give it a decent engine

watched the documentry on tele the other week a great shame the government would not back him up.

i think they put a standard renault engine in (or something stupid like that)


personally i want the flying/time machine one

Well your not limited to 88mph so I'm guessing it's just a bit of a blur when I see ya and there's no point in me putting "blur" in a was it you thread

No mine was sourced from the USA and when they were sent there when they were new they had to be more or less rebuilt by the yanks

mine was restored here in blighty last year now its better than an original

there are some that have been painted and two that are even 24KT gold plated all over even the exhaust

i've just got a second one will be with me in two months hopefully this ones a right hand drive too
