You may remember him from the "Love The Beast" movie... It is definately the 're-build' and not the original build... The Beast... Is Back... And here's hoping that he does a track day tour in the capital cities... (or at least Calder Park - that is close to me!!!!) I'd say you could fill Calder with Petrolheads that watched Love The Beast... and would love to see the beast breathing fire again...

Clarkson comments on the rear suspension in the movie and ends with "are you mad?"

If he's rebuilding it now... he should put IRS in the thing. Sorry if purists get annoyed at that. But such a car deserves such advancements.

Hoo yeh!
That's a diff! I just hope Banna keeps tracking it, doing Tarmac events, I'm sure he will. I wonder what he has in mind for an engine combo this time 'round...?

the timing of this is interesting because this years targa is the 20th anniversary of the event and the organisers are making a big effort to attract many of the competitors from previous years; could he be having a third crack? http://targa.org.au/Tasmania/targatasmania_home.html
