Proper.

 

[Bluebeard]

That is stunning.

Air Jacks too. Everybody needs air jacks!

 

[couzens]

Air jacks are sick. still have dents in the Showroom floor tiles at work from when we had the Proton Touring Car in

 

[Gaz.]

Air jacks are boss. It makes me laugh in the Aussie V8s, they deploy whilst still moving and literally bend!

 

[Gally]

You know you've made it when you have air jacks.

Car is clearly a tent builder!

Looks immense but I'm not sure what air jacks are?

 

[Gaz.]

Pneumatic rams under the car, used to jack the car up quickly for pit stops.

 

[The Russian.]

Stunning, loved these cars ever since my mates dad had one, brutal machines.

Car jacks that are operated by compressed air.

[Djw Dave]

Beast!

 

[g.cameron]

Love that.. I think I used to have a poster on my old bedroom wall of one very similar.

 

[Carbon maniac]

Some one should enter this in this years btcc for a round and show the shopping car boys how real racing should be no tcs no abs just good ole fasion driving skill and class!!!!

 

[Gaz.]

I'd hazard a guess at BTCC having neither, seeing as they lock wheels up braking and the RWD's have plenty of sideways time.

 

[david hodson]

I use to watch these growing up ate M3s for brekkie in the BTCC

 

[Ian_182]

Awsome old stuff.

 

[Fletcher]

I had a model of that car when I was a nipper. Wow.
