New Jag is late and taking part in the Home to Rome Rally in Sept, so figured, why not take the pile of junk to Lemans this year..if i make it.

Still have to fit SWAT stickers and numbers on Thursday night, but have started.

Complete with remote LED scrolling message in back window, PA system with Siren, animal noises and MIC.

Surely he would have to have bought one first though?

Our group have been set a price tag of £200 to find and fettle our cars.

So far we have

Ford Granada
Mercedes E Class
BMW 3 Series
Rover 414

To be honest the car above looks much better than any of ours, if you see any of us broken down tomorrow give us a wave.

Reasons why it might not make it... dodgy fix on the head gasket and dodgy gearbox...

One of the group is driving his 90's Aston Vantage down, so at least i will make it further than him..lol
