Where's Alan? Strange the posts with missing pictures don't show they were edited. Did John D. do something? Maybe this was a borderline commercial thing but, come on, Alan is obviously doing this 90% for fun and 10% for profit. Hope Alan or John D. explains the mystery.

How about a minivan with specs like this? 
quoted from another forum:
With a top speed approaching 190mph, a zero to 125 mph sprint time of under seven seconds and lateral cornering forces of between 1.5 and 2.0G it is definitely not a normal Espace.
Under the skin is a 1993-vintage Williams FW14 grand prix car, minus the self-levelling suspension and plus a few modifications to help maintain a better balance with the bodywork's higher centre of gravity; the 3.5-litre V10 Renault RS5b Formula 1 engine pushes out 800 horsepower and is mated to a Williams six-speed semi-automatic transmission, operated from the steering wheel via push-pull levers.
The whole is clothed in a lightweight plastic body, bearing the silhouette of Renault's pioneering multi-purpose vehicle; originally conceived as a four seater, the delicate balance of the finished product dictates a passenger limit of one petrified soul.
Eric Bernard, the former Larrousse and Liger F1 driver entrusted with developing the Espace F1, confides that it has a tendency to operate best, in terms of grip, when cornering on two wheels!
Passengers included Frank Williams who has endorsed the project and the involvement of his specialist technicians, admitted that the first-hand experience made him appreciate the skill and stamina involved in handling a grand prix car all the more.

The monkey pic was part of a joke. It had S. Freud holding a monkey.
I think there was an attempt (mabie in bad taste, I did not sense it to be intentional) at humor in the block party. It seems to have started a bit of a flame war about some PMs being sent. Doubtfull they ever existed.
I hope this pole is not trying to push the same ideas, but it seems to have only negative choices.
I, and surely others, thought Alan's pictures and Phil's posts/polls added flavor to the forum whick was a lively place until a few days ago. Perhaps it was a bit too much to fast for some, but the good out weighed the bad in my opinion.
I wise person should realize a lot of the tensoin and the excessive amount of polls are a result of the divided country and the pending election here in the states. I hope we all can keep politics and social issues out of RL. This is a GREAT place and we are all UNITED by our love and enthusiasm for our cars.

Graham, I see you are in the "U.S. of whatever" now. That's "U.S. of America", eurofag. Go back to your side. John D., I see you give lifetime memberships to just about anybody..

I hope you're just Joking, Jed. I don't think there's room here for that type of trash.
