Anyone know what's happening at Independent Prestige ?

I just went past and almost all the flash stuff was outside:
1 x Lamborghini Murcielago
2 x Lamborghini Gallardo
2 x AM DB9
2 x AM DB7
3 x Bentley GT
+ other stuff.

There was an enormous black truck in Bentley livery parked up.

With my nose pressed up against the glass it looked like there was some kind of LM? car at the back of the otherwise empty showroom.

So who has an invitation?

I'm guessing it must be a Bentley, which dates it a bit.

Couldn't really see. banghead

Speaking of Le Mans, has everyone seen the pics of the Radical SR10 !!!

Actually nobody has in the flesh. It's a paper (or digital equivalent) concept car . . . with a lid.

I heard this also this morning from Andy Culpan (RaceFX). He's off up there today with his camera. He's building up a replica powered by a Nissan v8 along the lines of the Steve Cox's F40/ S40

You mean he weighs the same as a duck, and is therefore made of wood? hehe

They just had the "Bentley Roadshow" at Independant Prestige on CloseUp tonight. Saw the car you were referring to in the background Graham.

And speaking of Close Up (which I missed) wouldn't it be better to burn Mark Sainsbury?

I missed it too, anyone care to enlighten me? (I should be an expert on burning stuff anyway )

The segment (if one could deem it such) basically consisted of the old walrus being fed some spiel about Bentleys and how NZ is second only to the UK in terms of sales (per head of population), before being let loose in a Continental GT in a particularly unflattering shade of red. There's no accounting for taste I guess... like I can talk! hehe

There's nothing wrong with a Impreza STi . . . if it's blue.

I also quite like the white ones (if early shape) or black (newer shapes)

Must be a tight fit over the engine... don't think you could squeeze a small block in there!

That's the great thing about Photoshop . You're not limited by practical considerations.
