Hi Jason, hope you are well. Many thanks for this one. I had hoped it would be the one from that time about the Nimrod at LM. I'd love to see that one again but cant find it. If anyone has come across the Nirmord docco please post a link:) Thanks. Will

Does anyone actually NEED all this technology to live, or to be in a car?
Is there a generation here now that needs and wants this car?
$45K is a very low price for an SUV let alone one like this I imagine will cost, so they are expecting high volume production?

It irritates me more than impresses me, I expect I'm alone.

1989 Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo

It may be an advert for a new car in a racing sim (something I'm tempted to get back into due to time/money/car availability restraints for the real thing) but it has some interesting footage and narration from Geoff Brabham.

If I try very hard I think I can remember watching some of this series at the time, or is that the medication wearing off? Nurse!!

When your A pillar is horizontal.... that's when you know the hill is a steep one. :)

The "I want to rent a Ford" joke is still good after 98 years :wink:

Brilliant!
Well worth the time to watch and some of the other episodes too.

What a vision, but what an execution too.
Alum chassis design and fabrication all over the car is truly awesome.
Best custom build I've seen for a very long time.
Thanks for posting. :)

iirc CAV GT40's are extremely well respected.
