I see it at the Nats at Santa Pod almost every year but I am always too shy to speak to you French guys because I cannot speak a word of your language. Something I will have to put right one day. :D

Is this the car that drives over from France, changes the carb, fits slicks, runs 9.40's and then drives home again?

My eldest son always drags me across the pits to have a look at this car when it's in the UK. Even at the tender age of 8, he knows how cool it is.

"9.40@???. Driven there, driven home. Cars are meant to be driven, right?"

Hard to believe Christer, but true. I've seen this car year in/ year out, running 9.90s through to 9.40's. :twisted:

In my humble view, it's the pinnacle of a truly streetable drag car. And it looks gorgeous too.... :s017:
