Hey Guys, check this out. This was the video that was being played at the SAAB stand at the Brisbane Motor Show.
http://www.fastlane.com.au/Motor%20S...esPeak_9-3.htm http://www.eklund.eds.com/ http://www.egarrett.com/pikespeak.html http://www.rallyracingnews.com/ppeak00.html Wouldn't it be fantastic to see this car running some laps at Albert Park to see what sort of time it could get - it would probably out qualify the Minardi. I managed to get this information from Koffe in the Touring Car forum, so credit must go to him for this. Gerard can kick me for posting this in the F1 forum - just thought I would share it with all you Minardi fans. |

Valve Bounce, the Motor show was excellent, didn't you think. What did you think of the F1 cars there (the Mclaren and the Williams).
I think the McLaren was real, as the brakes were worn. Not sure about the Williams though. |

Well, the Williams was suppposedly last year's car painted in this years colours. It did not even have barge boards, and I suspect that it was just put together for show. I loved the Holden Sandman - made me wish I was 20 again. Heck!! That car would have changed my life forever!! The BMW people apologised for not showing this year's McLaren which, they claim, was supposed to have been unveiled there. Nevertheless, the two year old McLaren still looked great and as you say, the brakes were worn, so I suppose it was a genuine race car. What do they do with all those old GP cars?? The storage costs, alone, must be prohibitive. I can understand someone wanting old Ferraris, but who the heck would want old Stewarts or Tyrrels??
