You're still here?! Every post I see from you is ill-informed, childish bks.

I remember this being built, ages ago- it was pretty extensive, IIRC.

V8, RWD? Nice. DTM one-off replica?

Yep, definitely, might even be a build thread somewhere, was quite a lot of work and well screwed together, if not too everyone's tastes.

[stealthgrow]

Yeah not built by me think its had a couple of owners sine the original builder.

This is Pete's old car, an amazing build. Someone in an old thread said it had been crashed - I had hoped that wasn't the case!

Yeah, engineered and built by a talented chap named Pete Mann and then latterly sold to a chap from Norway?

Even has Pete's plates on it... and oddly, that same picture appears here:

I remember the work Pete put into this car. I seem to remember he didn't seem to keep it long after completion though.
