Brave Lady!

Displaying true brit eccentricty and gritt!

"Decided to take take the smart over more traditional cars for the extra challenge", indeed.

Go on!

Have to wonder how well the chassis will stand up to the battering, especially if it really is factory standard. There isn't alot of axel articulation on MCC's toddler.

However, best of British luck to them both, let hope she finishes.


Mouse.

P.s: Is it likey we'll see any other "interesting" plastic cars on rallies in the near future!

A Fisher sports car was the silver medal winner of the 3000 mile Liege-Corse rally last year.

It's interesting and made out of plastic.

oh bloomin' heck!

I know, I was taken for a ride in one at the kit car show a couple of years ago. A Fury, right, with the assymetrical drivetrain? roomy for driver, passenger/victim pinned like a crim' in the stocks.

Great fun.

I meant: Is anyone daring enough to dirt-track a Trev.

What a pair of fannies. It's stuff like this that gives rallying a bad name: Ford Kak, Nissan Micra etc. etc. - dull as dishwater. Hope it falls in a pot hole and breaks itsel.

That's pretty!!!!

I'm sorry, I'm not well versed enough to know if that's a Grantura(sp?) or a Griff. Forgive my ingorance (I'd go for Griff judging by the bonnet bulge and solid wheels) I'm very impressed.

That reminds of the first TVR I ever remember, that I encountered at the tender age of seven at Sporting Bears meet. That I'm told was a red Griff.

That IS plastic and interesting!
