Almost a million pounds. Just got it moved into place the other day. Didn't have to get it out of the turbine building though. That ANO mess was a mess.

It's been in hibernation for something like 8 years. I only just got it operational this weekend. So the 30 minute drive to work was a real celebration.

Also in the garage, also recently resurrected.

Beautiful island and majority of the people were very nice, but poverty is the stain on that island. You think it's corrupt here in the US, you'll understand 3rd world corruption after spending some time there. No thanks.

I need to check out the Keys...

Not the same car, but a similar idea:

BENTLEY BARNATO ROADSTER CONCEPT

OK I can see it's got Microsoft and UTBM on the side. UTBM appears to be The University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard in no surprise Belfort Montbéliard France. So I assume it's some sort of electric concept vehicle but my Googlymoogly skills are still too weak.

Google links this Sbarro concept 8 to UTBM so I'm closing in.

Good lord, look at that front suspension. Pure function over form. I'd have gone with a pushrod setup. Or is there an extra linkage on that upper arm as well?

Is the extra linkage for the sway bar, or is it attached to the upper control arm to increase the amount of spring deflection for wheel movement?
