	v8 in the passenger seat? Love it. Now you have to route the exhaust out of the window. 8 little stub exhausts sticking out.

	The rear axle setup is going to be a unusual affair,
	Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style. Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble

	not really unusual , Salisbury 4HA , LSD , leaf springs & upper radius arms . The props only 1Ft long. i'm looking for a go-kart seat for passengers, with the gearbox in there & the 'Z' gate shifter on the side of it there isnt enough space for a normal car seat. anyone got 1 spare ?

	That's fantastic The Rapier shape is a cool one anyway , I saw a brown one at a show in the summer driven by an old bird and it just looked so good ( the Rapier not the old bird )but that is superb. North East you say ? .....
