Kent Viking, mine is in stealthblack with the black whels. They didn't offer blacked out windows but you've got me thinking about getting dark film for it now!

The new press model in grey with black and red seats looks nice as well.

Three Carvers should be performing at the end of this week at Silverstone for the Sky Television film unit for a celebrity , (well probably a group of people few of us are familiar with ! ) new TV series on Sky One called 'The Race' I understand it involves amongst other things paint ball guns strapped to the sides of the cars !!

10:00pm
The Race - Live D
--

New. Two teams of five celebrities, mentored by racing legends David Coulthard and Eddie Irvine, compete in a series of high-octane challenges. Denise Van Outen presents all the action.

Would appear to be every night at 10.00pm on Sky one.

Anyone care to look at it and tell us what its like.

I don't have Sky and anyway its past my bedtime !!

The first deliveries should start soon now the first order placers should be seeing their new cars beginning in 2 or three weeks that is the latest prediction.

Spotted a blue one on the M25 yesterday morning around the M40 junction heading anticlockwise. Followed me for a bit before turning off. Only cruising in motorway traffic so didn't get to see it perform any tilting antics. Odd looking thing but I'd love to have a go in one. Looks like fun.

just seems the wrong way round to me

why not two wheels at the front coming off a fixed nose cone sort of thing then a tilting body, motorbike engine and shaft drive and single fat wheel at the rear?

I was (loosely) involved in the design and manufacture of the interior over the last 2 years before my job changed.

For the sticker price the materials that were/are going to be used were of a very low quality IMO.

Now i have a car due to me in the beginning of december. Its a Euro car meaning its not affected by the Prodrive hold up. I have decided not to go through with the deal but have paid a 10% deposit. I wondered if anyone here may want it? Im not after the deposit back i just want it to go to someone who will appreciate it rather than it siting at the dealer.

Anyone interested or maybe know of anyone? Perhaps an advertising car?

Its Blue with Black interior, spoiler etc.

What price? A friend of mine is now thinking about one now that I've been enthusing about it. Mine comes in February, but is does have all the re-engineered parts that are the cause of the hold up.

There are a lot of changes, even the engine has been changed along with suspension and brake changes.

This was the scene at Silverstone yesterday, Friday, for the filming of last nights episode of 'Sky One's "The Race " daily celebrity driving competition TV show The Woman in the racing overalls in Ingrid Tarrant.





Paintball machine guns fitted to the front of the blue and red cars controlled by a button on the steering wheel persued the celebrity in the black car at full speed firing at a target on the back of the black car.

This particular test was Boxer Nigel Benn verses Chris Tarrant's wife Ingrid - the one with fewest hits was the winner.

In the afternoon there was a race with a dozen new Lotus Exiges David Coultards team of girls vs Eddie Irvines team of boys. Gary Numan just holding off AC/DC front man Brian Johnson
