Well the jury's out and it looks like the Audi drive line into Cobra project is a go.
It seems that the new "High Powered Vehicle" laws are as usual totally obscured from reality and should you own a 2010 or later model V8 and your kids are eligible to obtain their P1 license prior to the 4th of Sept 2010 they can drive it as long as the power/weight ratio doesn't exceed 130kw per 1ton vehicle weight, however this does not apply to vehicles made prior to 2010.
So if you bought an Audi A6 Quattro V8 (for instance) built on the 31st of December 2009, it would not be considered as exempt from the HPV act, but if it was built on the 1st of January 2010 than would be considered exempt if it meets the power to weight ratio requirements. Who makes these rules...
Anyway I guess it's good for me as the project is a go, not so good for my son Josh... We will however keep building his turbo MK2 Escort and he can drive that on his L's while he's learning to drive. What a crazy world..LOL
