This one used to belong to Al Barnett:  We couldn't afford to take it to Bonneville, so had to make do with Le Mans instead  The driving position was, erm, relaxed!  |

The driving position was, erm, relaxed! It does actually look quite accomodating in there! I take it, it had Go-Kart style seats, bolted pretty much to the floor? I can remember seeing it - I think at the Doncaster show quite a few years ago & thinking it was really cool but not quite understanding why  In the above salt flat pictures above, I love the lighting effect caused the white salty ground & the bright blue sky, the reflected light illuminates the bottom halfs of the cars which are normally left in the shadows. |
