This is awesome, i have been following the build of the car since its inception. The engineering effort for the whole thing is akin to the space shuttle program.

Exciting stuff. Haven't heard much from Rossco Mcglashen lately, this will be a real bench mark for his attempt.

Last I heard Rossco is doing it pretty tough.
He lives around the corner but haven't seen any of his cars for ages.

Just noticed the Aussie Invader has a spot reserved at the Perth AFD this weekend, might find out a bit more there.
