As for the year, i reckon '96 or '97. With the Maroon car he ran the top speed of 240 k's at WW1in '95, I'm sure he brought the car in Maroon again for WW2 - '96, so I think '97 was when he brought the rat. It generated some angst among the organiser's, especially when it flew to bits on the runway run and left a black scar up the side of his helmet. Cop's also had a few words with him when they found him 'testing' it in the back streets after completing it in the motel room.
Cheers Dave ...Pic's would be terrific .... The copper also had words with me when I took it for a test a couple of blocks away... Pulled me over and said "so this is satans toy ,heard you from the other side of town,Mmmm so this is registered?".YES ..."no speedo ...no floor ,well partial ..i can see the road through the cockpit ..rather loud ..well you have a good weekend and just take it a little easier Please!!Thank You Officer have a nice day!!
