I'm a bit of an anorak when it comes to cars - I remember the slightest details! RE my avatar, it's just like my desktop - different every 5 mins! lol

Seeing as I am at school and can't upload anything (damn proxy!) you can have another fo on my behalf

If you want, I'll PM you a suggestion...

Nice work on the Consulier. Apparently the bloke who built them made a $25,000 bet that he later upped to $100,000, that no production car could beat it on any track in the US. Then some guys did it in a stock corvette, and the bloke had to backpedal hard lol

Will post another part of the pic at about 7:00pm EST if not guessed by then. That should give anyone still at work a chance to try.

Oh, and to be fair, I don't believe this has completely finished it's development either - but Top Gear has given it exposure...
