such a great car. Had a chat with max indeed, I asked him if the gumball will return to belgium next year and he said "maybe, and if we return we will stay in belgium for the night, but nothings sure yet".
I sure hope so, I love the gumball rally. One of the highlights of the year for me and if I EVER get the chance to take part in it, I wouldn't doubt for half a second.
did put in alot of effort to shoot the car to car pics. I was driving but wanted to take the pictures out the window, so my passenger was ordered to steer the car while I adjusted speed with my feet

At factory yesterday and saw the sitckerd up supersports..
Can anyone tell me...
1. Is this the one and only prototype - or is this a new preproduction car?
2. If it is a new preproduction car / development ahck maybe - the interior looks odd - seems to be some old shabby bucket seats in there?
Also I saw the last of the Aeromaxes - all going to the US on show and display regs. I assume that means supersports production starts sometime soon....

They have been there for quite awhile - I posted a photo of the 11 back in March.
Steven, the US cars are the same as the other Aeromax's - they are going over on the Show & Display law; therefore, they are not homologated for road use.

The update on the US cars was taht the 'paperwork' was in this week - so the cars will be on their way shortly. At least a couple were still in the finishing shop geting things 'fettled' - no idea what though.
Would have loved to stay at the factory and chat to someone yesterday about forthcoming 'stuff' but everyone appeared in a hurry for some reason, so I toddled off the get the 3 hour train back to london.
Hope to pick the S4 up in around 2 weeks following a few minor tweaks...
