Default So tell me about Donington . . . .

What went on?

Any scandal?

What about new launches?

How did the AMS Murtaya look?

Who was there?

Who wasn't?

the murtaya looked great IMHO

New car from AGM no pics sorry

finished Mirach with pop up headlights

Robin hood conspicuous by their absence according to one manufacturer I spoke to cant remember who the big issue was related to the new owner and the developement costs relating to the 2 new models basically crippling them

Not sure of validity just reporting what was said not trying to start rumours

Sunday was great as their was a kitcar race meet on track

could start a rumour re the martaya but was asked to keep it quiet for now

I didn't go but apparently my old Ultima did with a brand new owner.

There is one pic of the Murtaya in the news section, but I'm seeing them this week and will have pics on here (and in Kit Car hopefully).

Andy, I'd be interested in anything you have heard. PM me.
I am aware of a lot of what is going on with this car at the mo. I am also aware of some of the details of the further 'race' model.

The Robin Hood story (I believe) seems to have been told on PH.

Andy, I'm still jealous of you having that Ultima. Wish I could of afforded to buy it off you!!!

Well if that's everything, I don't think I missed much.
I guess I made the right choice wandering round dressed as 'Lord Percy' (from Blackadder) at a wedding! - much more fun than a kit event.

PH doesn’t say much (unless I’ve missed the right thread). I’m surprised about that bearing in mind the gravity of that situation.
Den.

Default Murtaya

Am I being thick or does this look like someone has done a 'Pimp my ride' on an ugly car.

And achieved a tremendous success in proving that a car can be made to look worse without too much effort!

I dislike huge grills, about as stylish as a brick wall made of 'common' bricks, no doubt it improves the aero dynamics.

Regards to all non Murtaya builders.

Went on Saturday in my Orange 5exi. Good show with weather OK too. Great to see the cars on the track....some awesome GT40's and cobras.

Thoroughly enjoyed the day...and the drive too and from

Would have loved to have seen the 5exi.

Mine's still in bitsand untouched this year! Did a deal with the father in law a couple of months back. Now I should have it built over the winter.
