Peter, Bird is a girl (obviously) so she's not likely to know the answers to questions like that.  |

The Stratos replica is a good kit car to have, many years ago I did think about building one myself, so would be interested to see more about Bird's chums' car, is the ' use correct? I do have a spare Ferrari 308 engine/gearbox, always looking for a good home for it The Hawk version is very accurate and Jerry Hawkridge supplies parts to owners of original cars, the body parts are that good. I seem to remember a chap something Foreman who built a very nice lime green road going version, got hooked, built a Ferrari p4 replica, liked it so much he still makes them? Corrections awaited!! |

Unless of course it is a syndicate of the chums of Bird who share the ownership of the car - in which case you would be correct! I can't correct you on the more technical aspects of your post, so will leave that to someone else. F |

Neil. Legend has it that he bought a secondhand Ferrari, just to find a V12 motor, which wouldn't fit the P4 replica. So he took a hacksaw to it. It fits now. They're like that in Kent. |

This is my new knowledge: No, it is NOT A HAWK! It is the other one :-) The car is a CAE (Carson Automotive Engineering) Corse i, with a 3.0 12v Alfa V6 from and Alfa 164. (which I obviously knew before but was keeping to myself. Erm.) |

(which I obviously knew before but was keeping to myself. Erm.) i know the car and Mr Carson, does he still have his Ferrari 308 V8 version or has that now moved to pastures new? BTW Fran, I new that all the time , any doubts about grammar, spelling and punctuation, look out for a book called "Eats shoots and leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss , very good and very funny. The Times newspaper had it as a freebie CD a few weeks ago. |

From Tim:
That car was a 'sister' to my car. They were both worked on in the same way by the same people.
It had a Ferrari 308 V8 engine in dark blue. Even had the same Fiat Barchetta mirrors.
The car was sold to Japan almost 8 years ago.

You guys need to meet I think. I must convince Tim he needs to come to LM next year.

The Times newspaper had it as a freebie CD a few weeks ago. I purchased this book but only managed to get through a couple of chapters before the overwhelming urge to hunt Lynne Truss down and shove this book very far up her arse became uncontrollable and I had to stop reading. |

From the toniq website:
Early October and the team has been delighted at the rave reviews from the motoring and specialist press. The FireBlade Toniq R has been in action at Snetterton, Donington, Marham and Brands Hatch, as well as countless hours at Honington. Now a ‘four and a half’ star EVO rated car, the Toniq R has drawn wide praise:
Marham? When did it do Marham? Does MGMark know or was there a little publised security breach?
