I was wondering where he was this year! Pleaaase someone buy it and get it back on the track where it belongs... It's an awesome looking car and I'm sure it'd be bloody fast with the kinks worked out (they must be by now surely?!)

Nothing a little TLC couldn't fix...... and as they say I've taxed worse.

It's a shame if we've lost Steve.

He's certainly a character.

lol bit of a waste and quite a lot of work to stick a tuscan shell back on it.. Its quite a famous car in its own right... I'd like to see it put back to its original body style without all the pumped up bits.. i.e the tasmanian devil front in one of the pics

The tasmanian devil era of that car was great, very funny and very striking to look at. to see it returned to that spec would be fab smile

It looks like a dog! Surely it deserves a Tuscan body to give it some respectable looks before it reappears on the track.

Anything but.., some of the later aero additions are a bit suspect, but fundamentally a cracking motor.. put back to its earlier style and it looked fantastic...




[providing of course you like wedges, which i do :-)
