Ah-hem!!

[Red Cooper]

...and why stop there?... a V10 and maybe a V12...

[jbkone]

Hell, put in a V12 and sit on the roof!

Be carefull there Paul, you'll get me into trouble. I'm not one of the owners. The team owner is Eric Qvick, located in Oostende. I think Vincent Beerneard also ownes a bit, but I'd have to check. I know I put down Cooper S3 as my car, in my profiel. But sorry to say, it ain't mine.

I'm the voluteer press officer, and hopefully in future a team engineer (I'm an industrial engineering student right now). If you want I could try and organise a Q&A, or a chat session with the team owners, drivers, engineers,... But it would have to be after the race, off course.

A well, you could always have gone along with it... "yes it's my weekend drive..."

A Q&A sounds a brilliant idea.

Only thing I wanna know is... how much and when?

Here's another drawing of the concept car from Vinnie's (co-driver) website:

The Q&A is no problem. It'll have to go through me, because most guys on the team have bad English kills.

Thanks for all the compliments guys,
