Diesel prototype
« on: April 18, 2005, 03:56:31 pm »
Was it me or was the diesel (caterpillar engine I think) LMP900 last year about as aurally exciting as a Nissan Micra???  Is there likely to be another diesel prototype, I bet it would have been an incredible car to drive, MASSIVE torque (that's why it retired I think) as it kept killing clutch plates.

There were rumours that the Audi R9 would be a diesel. Not certain how true it was though.

I guess we'll find out next year!!

If it is, Dick will wet his pants (after he's come out of the Red Lorry)  ;D

Imagine if we could arrange for the club parade laps in the morning to be military vehicles as well. He'd think he'd died and gone to heaven!!  ;)

Yup, I can just imagine a Scammel Pioneer lumbering along the start / finish at 12 mph!

He'd have that devilish look in his eye (as seen at the RHS of this photo........... the RIGHT side)  ;)

Is that someone you know?  I swear that was the girl to my right hand side at the podium celebrations last year.

Everyone was FAR too busy concentrating on the podium celebrations to notice though ;)
