TMSR/ABG Lexus
Really sorry to bring up the Lexus thing again, but is there anyone in the know here who can confirm one way or the other - was the much rumoured second car ever built, and where are the cars located now? I understand that they were with VLR for a time but a little bird tells me he has seen one of them in a certain workshop in Salisbury recently... is this true? Anyone know?

Hmm interesting. I doubt we'd see either of them back tho, they seemed to be cursed.

Yes! Cursed as in the suspension went back to a suspension supplier and one gearbox went toa wheel supplier and the other gearbox went off with a driver. Hooray for these useful interchangeable championship parts!

Okay, thanks guys. So it never actually came out the build shop then? Any idea what stage it reached, TheLeader?

The cage is partly in, but alas it is still sitting in primer covered in a layer of ever thickening dust craig.

So will Janspeed ever resurrect the damned things? They looked - and sounded - great, but needed more work.
