That is a stunner! Mine is missing the fog lights but I'm looking into that
Is he on the RB320 owners club?

Ah that's right enough, I remember seeing that now
Still more than enough - but more importantly alot of potential to get loads more without much effort

Bit of an update
Managed to get myself pally with the guy that owns RB320 #000 - thats right the test and demo car that Damon Hill and Peter Solberg have driven.
Now it turns out this demo car was given a few extra toys to impress the critics - including a different engine map that took the power to the high 300bhp somewhere, but no one really knows as it was never dyno'ed.
I'm hoping to plug the old laptop into it and find out what makes it tick - then downloading it into mine if the two will talk. I'll need to speak to Prodrive and find out if that'll work.
One thing I really like about buying a car like this, Prodrive sent me an email once they found out I had bought it with a load of service and technical help numbers - including two mobiles I can phone any time day or night in case of an emergency. If anything at all goes wrong I just give them a phone and they'll send out an engineer to have a look at it. I'm going to get a nice certificate when the ownership changes too with the car number ect on it.
That's what you call customer service!

Having been to Prodrive and spoken with some of the guys it's not surprising....

Or is that what you call tempting fate?
Maybe I'm being a bit cynical but that is not a great selling point!
Didn't the McLaren F1 offer an engineer service globally and came with a modem port and full tool kit supplied for the owner in the event of a breakdown? I seem to remember that the owner could plug in something and the faults could be downloaded and said engineer sent anywhere in the world, tools already there for them to use.
