    THAT could have been the sponsor dough-heid

    The cars in the links I think are the MkII as here http://www.quaife.co.uk/gallery/index.htm

    The first picture the Q asked about is of the Mk1 as competed in the British "Privelage" Championship in 98 IIRC. Sponsored by British Steel - a now defunct company merged into "corus" in 1999.

    Low volume race car manufacture.

    Quaife clearly decided the best way to showcase all the components they make for everyone else was to put them all together in one car

    well done Kermit.

    Confirmed the average IQ of Aussie members on UCP !!
    Keep this over in the Aussie forums where your compatriots will hand out the appropriate punishments.

    So, do tell, how many Quaife cars have YOU driven ?

    as the norm with idits you'd have been better keeping quiet rather than proving your stupidity with comments like that
