You've got to love the quality transportation and rampwork they use to get the car off the lorry!

Don't they also let the driver drive over a box? (3:52)
Class!

Think I'm getting these two mixed up, thought I read that Lee was involved in a Russian company???

Yes, agree, the unloading was a bit dodge, but the car does look good.

Nothing to do with Lee that car. Had the pleasure of spending quite a bit of Saturday night of the Monaco GP with the owner of Marussia and his approach is somewhat different to Lee's!

Can anyone fill me in with what happened to Fenix?

Their site/forum just seemed to disappear about a year ago.

ohh the new exile...i forgot about that..smile

from what i heard the fenix was ready to go and a prototype was due to be made...i think the company in SA were going to make all the moulds for free on the grounds of lee's M12 model being such a success..i.e they were going to get their money back in the long run...withut this deal apparantly the production prototype was going to cost 500k....Lee delivered the car ready to get things going but somebody had a change of heart in SA last minute and the deal fell through...no investors could be found to stump up the 500k so it could never go into production..

thats what i heard anyway, the real story may be very different..but either way a sad ending...i really hope he has not chopped up the prototype this time...

Well if you fancy driving a Cylone warship, it's perfect!

Nice colour though smile
