I'm in love!

Make sure you watch the bit of vid too.

Martin.

[kentviking]

begs the question....how much?

looks like a one-off special, but with that spec I'm sure there'd be demand for more....the poor man's bugatti?

I think I might also be falling in love....do you wanna fight me for her?

[amg merc]

Noble should take a look at that gear-linkage work!

[hunttheshunt]

Just buy the red one you know it makes sense!

[V6GTO]

I've allways wanted a twin engined 4wd car [sigh]

Martin.

[silversix]

Buy a Tiger then.....

500BHP from a turbo charged 1.3ltr engine would worry me. it might be totally safe, and long lived, and I hope it is, but it would still worry me.

Buy G-Man's record breaking car, and save a lot of hastle, and don't lose a fortune. I would, but still have the M400, and want to build an Ultima, not just buy a quick one. What i really want is a group B car with all the modern bits (like a mid EVO engined 4x4 106 type thing). Come to think of it I want an Ice racing car for the road.......

silversix is going to buy a Micra!

Martin.

And I don't care if it is an exAlain Prost Andros car...it's still a Micra

Me too...I think 2x450 bhp would be a lot better

It's still a Micra that will humble most super cars, including my M400. I would actually prefer a Clio, and spoke to Dave Aplleby after he bought 2 ex Ice racing Clio's to convert to Rallycross. they weren't cheap though. I quite liked the look of that mid-engined Ray Mallock Micra that they built to show off.

Ice racing is one of those things that I have always loved the look/thought of, but have only ever watched on Eurosport. I keep meaning to go and watch, but it might ruin it.

I think what I really want is an Ultima with 4x4 Skyline running gear. That would be interesting.....

Hi Martin,

Don't get your hopes up too soon!

That Ultima was finished over a year ago. No one has seen it run yet, which sounds a bit fishy to me. Last I heard they were having a few problems with it.

Time will tell. Besides it's a bit of a bland colour for you

I wonder ig Gman would be interested in a straight swap

Not unless he's colour blind. no discerning owner of a red car would swap for an inferior colour (guess what colour the M400 is...) no matter how "special" it is.

Ooops, storm brewing - take cover team!

[silversix]

No storm.

Personaly I think Indigo blue is the best colour, but like winding Martin up......and as I'm one of the few with a red car, I'm probably in the firing line as well.

[hunttheshunt]

I like the red actually!!! Is that OK??

[V6GTO]

I like them all...it's just that mine is the best

[amg merc]

I also toyed with the Red when speccing mine - saves £450 too!

For those of you who rememeber '70's disco I guess it might be.....but statistically speaking I'd have to disagree.....got to be Silver!!!
