SL - what a clever man you are, I was miles off the motor.

Why thank you kind Sir!!!!

Seemed to be the only one who saw FIAT in the wood pannel behind (Looked again and cannot see it this time, Thanks to London Pride Brewies for this last night!). The Turbine was from Rup's clue

It's a FIAT and it is turbine powered.

Try and get the make and model later but I have a feeling it is a one off concept car

 'fraid not usually the Abarth came with 2 side draft weber's 36D04
140  Club Arnage / So You Think You Know About Le Mans / Re: One for Mr Z, Which film on: October 26, 2008, 09:02:11 pm
It is probably an Abarth 1100 Spyder 1955 vintage

Using a tuned FIAT 1089 twin carb engine good for almost a jaw dropping 118mph!

That is about it but the cars did last more than a week!

From memory, after the 16/60 there was a minivan, VW beetle, A40, 1950's Ford Consel, and another mini.

The A40 was going to be raced until someone put the engine into the radiator (don't ask how!), wrecking the rad, hoses and engine mounts, although the mounts may have gone beforehand. As for the rest, I think the VW's clutch went, mini rotted away, as did the Wolsey, and the consel's gearbox broke (old "3 on a tree" shift).

Dragging my E type out of the garage for this event (Assuming MOT Pass)

Cheryl was hoping to get a special dress but was let down by the supplier late today.

I am looking forward to all the racing regardless.

Wolsey 16/60 I would guess then. did they make a 15/50?

Learnt to drive on a 16/60 but MG version, many moons ago, maybe Rup can recall?

I don't think a pair of 7 year olds will grasp the concept of a 1000k race, even with the promise of a baseball cap.

Those nice people at Peugeot Sport are also providing lots of fun filled activities for children incl. -
Scalextric
Hot Laps Huh?
Face Painting (who want's to look like a Peugeot 908?)
Children's Driving School ride

For the bigger children -

Scalextric
Test drive the peugeot range (Bring your 2 part driving licence) for performance models you have to be over 25.

 Could be a Riley of some sorts, they seemed to have made quite a few models incl a 4 seat tourer.

 Huh?
148  Club Arnage / So You Think You Know About Le Mans / Re: One for Mr Z, Which film on: August 01, 2008, 12:31:08 pm
After a bit of a google search I believe it is a ASA 1000 GT Coupe built by Bizzarrini in the early 1960's. Raced twice at Le Mans but did not finish.

Engine was designed by a Mr Ferrari and supposedly based on a 250GTO engine.

British Embassy in Almaty

I hope they have a visa as I don't think they are available on arrival (mine took over a week to get)
There are very few ATM's outside Almaty or Astana. US$ are welcome in most places.

Hope that helps
