how sad am I, a few seconds in and I'm thinking "that looks like the old Renault Sport garage on the back straight at Paul Ricard"
I've never seen that before, that's pretty ****ing awesome.

That thing is crazy, its why I like renaults so much they are the only car maker mad enough to fit such an engine in a mpv, I know ford did it with the supervan first but it looks pony and now is sporting a breathed on 2.9 from a granada cosworth.
I think it's one of his.Quote:

Thats the van he's on about mate, i remember reading somewhere the they took the Benetton engine out of Supervan 3 and fitted the Granada v6 in its place. Why is another question:crap:Quote:

Three, aparantley ford could never find anyone mad enough to drive it with the benneton v10 so tamed it with a v6.
looks like they fitted the back end from a prosport 3000, that would make sense as the parts would be a lot more available. The Benetton would have been a v8 btw.Quote:

I would love a job where work is building F1 powered toys, they say it was all done as a marketing exercise but you know they are all like little kids building it.
