Most fun car I've ever driven in the wet, but the one I was in wasn't 500bhp.  I think I'd prefer the more run-of-the-mill ones;  500bhp in this type of car would be too much to handle on the roads.

There's an article on it in this months Top Gear magazine. Sounds well sorted but totally mental!

That's where I got it from (found a copy that had been left in our waiting room) & looked to see if there was anything on 'YouTube' of it


And, extremely pricy!!

Looked like it was sprinting, cant rember the name but I did one Near london with Seloc/Borough 19. Not a very exiting track, but I was in my first season and not very good (span it every time I think)

my Mate built a striker from a kit, also very light and supercharged toyota lump pushing about 300bhp I think.
