I like this comment:

The car is 92% complete


How is that percentage calculated :?

Lovely little cars but I'd prefer a Matra Djet.
Having said that there is an RB in this country that 'dad' help bring in... :wink:

It may be at bromley again this year.

92% complete, just means that the hardest and most expensive 10% is still left to do.

They have a very narrow track (for good mulsanne speed) which means they don't go round corners as well as an A110... but I stll want one.

these motors always appealled to me, that white and blue djet was too cool, wonder who brought it???

as an aside, when i'v been abroad i've tried to pick up a mag called retro corse that had loads of cool shots of alpines and renault's, djet's, RB's, etc. Does anyone know if you can pick it up over here?
