[speedy7]

The best looking GT2 car is back and thank god

Is this the Eclipse TVR? I heard that it was making a comeback.

[speedy7]

yes it is that car should be more info in the new year

[mitch_]

We may have to run a poll on who'll have the best looking GT2 car on the grid, but I look forward to arguing the toss over that on the 28th Feb!

I notice you're based in Manchester? An amusing coincidence........

[speedy7]

Look forward to it Mitch and maybe a poll you going to run a VET ?. I drive past your place at least once a month and always ended up day dreaming of a Hummer (the original one) to get me down Deansgate a little quicker. I think the Xero cars are making a comeback ? if thats the case next years Britcar should be a cracker plus you have the Sagaris clones (these look great) then there should be some 430's plus Vipers (maybe someone will run an old GT1 VIPER ?)

[Dragaan]

I have a request. Does anyone have any pictures of it from the rear when it ran with the big DSC logo on the bonnet? I have it ready to go into GTR2 in the British GT mod, but there are no photos of the back end to make sure I get the logos right.

If you do, please email them to me at [e-mail]

Cheers

Ah, my favourite Scalextric car...

Have you guys read the regulations for 2008?

You should also look at fuel burn!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Christmas

Now that would just be telling wouldn't it?! We actually have an H1 at the moment. They're good fun, if not amongst the slowest things on God's earth. I do believe it will be an interesting year anyhow, with all sorts of exotic stuff making a comeback.

Belly, what's that about fuel burn? I must have missed that......

The Xero Corvettes have been sold to someone in the US.

I think Mitch may want to add something to this ?

You're right I just might. I know where every single one of the Xero run Corvettes is, I currently own two of them. The the third, the Embassy car, is back with Embassy racing in Johnathan France's workshop. Looking forward to seeing everybody on Thursday!!

I knew Mitch would know. Yes looking forward to Thursday but the TVR will be there but a none runner ? Engine still in build (its hard trying to get 850bhp from a speed 6)

I think the Eclipse Mossler will be running though

[mitch_]

Don't worry, at the moment we still don't have the gearbox back yet. Should be running in time for Thursday. We'll have to see!!

[Simon Mason]

Our car is still "unconfirmed" so I will take great pleasure in watching your proper V8 grunters on Thursday.

Mitch can you run an LS7 engine in the C5. That could be a very competitive car against the Viper.

Simon, as far as I'm aware we are the only car that can truly legitimately run an LS7 but right now we're still using well tuned LS1s. We have a few of them. Feel free to come and say hello!
