christ, in the wet at Coombe. The man has balls for sure.

[andy mac]

That is fantastic!

[Jay GTI]

Ah yes that car... I first saw it at a show and track day at Coombe (can't remember which one, might have been the first Rally Supercar Day).

Bumped into it again a few months later at the Pod, we ended up joining the M1 together on our way home. We were both up for a play, but even in my (at the time) circa 300bhp Pulsar GTIR he just left me like I'd grabbed the handbrake. I caught up with the guy a bit later on, pulled up along side him and did my best Wayne's World 'I'm not worthy' wave and bow, which got the driver laughing. Very, very quick car and it was in nothing like it's current state of tune back then!

Absolutely awesome people who do this kind of thing

love the comment by the guy at the end - 'I love cars that go like they shouldn't'

There's some fabulous shots of it at Camp Corner at Combe, totally sideways, and also some video. There'll be some links to it here:

Love it.

[klassiekerrally]

The only thing I dont like about it is the exhaust.
Probably necessary because of noise restrictions at the circuit?

[LewisK]

Yea, it usually runs a single silencer out the back, like in the pic side on...

[Pigeon]

Entertainingly bonkers, but I can't help feeling somewhat disappointed that it has a Cosworth engine instead of a highly modified Triumph slant four, or a Saab turbo lump at the least.

[remal]

seen it on track and and took a close look at the car. very nice indeed

[ApexClipper]

Anyone got any idea what the power-weight ratio is?

[cej]

[LewisK]

Must weigh about a tonne and a bit I would have thought
