It does actually look very familiar. But I can't think where I've seen it before? What is it then?

[obi_waynne]

Even with that clue I'm not turning up anything!

 

[Loz]

I spent an hour in the online archives of NZ Classic Car Magazine this morning & couldn't find diddly. Do you know how many pictures of racing there are on the interweb? There's at least a couple of hundred. :amuse:
I even cheated & had a look at Timmy's photobucket album! :toung:

 

[obi_waynne]

Timmy owes me a good few hours now as well!

 

[obi_waynne]

I googled for "what NZ sports car is timmy talking about" and it turned up no useful results. Flipping Google!

 

[Loz]

Yep! This & looking for the 'fastest street legal four cylinder drag car' has left me with Google lag

 

[turbonutter69]
