What Wishy aspires to!!!!!!!!
« on: November 17, 2004, 06:15:35 pm »
Well there seems to be an opening for "Shed" racing after all!  Wishy will be overjoyed.  He can now upgrade from track-days to doing proper racing!!  It'll pave the way for a whole new formula in the motorsport world.  MPV 1 Class at
Le Mans perhaps?
Catch Top Gear this Sunday. (As a last resort we can always play conkers with them)

 ;D ::) :P

At least I was throwing the"shed" around before Top Gear had the idea...................and anyway if I remember you were very complimentary about the "shed's " handling capabilities around the Sparkford track!!!

This is true.  Maybe DR can find another "shed" for us to play "cat & mouse" with at Sparkford.  We'll have something to aim at then! ;)

Did make me giggle, now we need the endurance version. But the way they were driving I guess none would finish 15min let alone a couple of hours!

Well they were being driven by BTCC pilots what do you expect!  The pogo effect on the Toyota Space Cruiser was entertaining.  As I mentioned on the original post, you could have 2 classes for endurance.  MPV 1 for Espaces & Previas etc. (Espaces being the class favourite of course ;D), and MPV 2 for the Xsara Picaso & Scenics ;)
I think Wishy is secretly working on an Alfa V6, twin-turboed version, in anticipation of regulation changes :o

Now.....that would be interesting on a DR track day.
Select first gear and go!!!!!!!

I think the F1 Espace was a creation by Mr.Williams and I think Williams  still own it,but i could be wrong.

I belive it was built and owned by Matra. I last saw it it Goodwood FoS.

An incredible beast, your eyes keep telling your ears that what they are hearing is not what the eyes are seeing. A very strange fealing ::)

Do you recall the Ford Transit Van with the DFV Cosworth engine?

There were three altogether, SuperVan 1, 2 and 3.

Pictures of all three here - http://website.webcenter.lycos.de/www.fomcc.de/fordsetzung/03_1/03_1_7.htm

In this months Motorsport there is a report that "Supervan 2" was a devlopement of the Ford 83C (the successor of the C100). The "Supervan"  has been taken apart to rebuild the stillborn race car. It should hit the tracks next year battling it out in Group C/GTP.
