We got a good mention in this week's
Classic Car Weekly (UK publication) from regular contributor Richard Heseltine (AKA 'Hezza' on this site):
He writes some great columns about the obscure and bizarre on the inside back page of the paper.

....the knowledge that even if you write about cars for a living, there is unlikely to be cause for you ever to mention in print that the Status 365 kit car utilised a Bond Bug wiper arm. Or how and why the Nota Fang (the British rather than the Australian version) came to nought after an amorous bull mistook the prototype for a mate and sat on it.
But help is at hand - sort of. There is a website for like-minded souls -
www.autopuzzles.com. Here you will find the oddest cars ever made. That and a competitive element which the true geek craves: as the title suggests, you have to name each car and supply pertinent information.
It's a car spod's paradise where being able to recognise some peculiar strain of SUV built solely for the Carpathian market is actually rewarded. Well, you receive points and earn the admiration of your fellow forum dwellers which is much the same thing. On reflection, this is preferable to being handed another restraining order..

Maybe we'll get some extra visitors out of it!
