    Nice one Slaanesh.

    The engine sounds there were great - enough to make an environmentalist explode!

    the auto unions are 3 times the size :D , I think it was a Cooper racer, great soundtrack all the same, and some wonderful machines there, excellent video clip, well done!

    auto union

    ahahahahahahahahaha its got a JAP (no not japaneese) bioke engine in a cooper chassis, John cooper, yes the dude who tuned minis, that was made from 2 fiat topolino front axles, to give independent suspension front and rear.

    the Ferrari P3/4, GT40 and Jag D are replicas

    Is this the car you are talking about?

    If so I think it’s a 500cc car called the Leprechaun.

    @ Cappo - thanks for posting the pic, but i think its quite a different car, much taller front and straighter along the flanks.

    @ green-blood - im glad i gave you such a laugh :rolleyes: I've only seen pics of an Auto Union racer, so i wasnt aware of their sheer size. Considering the Cooper Racer was on screen for about 2 seconds, and the other exotica(albeit replicas) on the video, i thought i had seen something extraordinary...

    Still think its the same car with its engine cover in place - just the angle of the picture makes it appear shorter :confused:
