That’s right, it’s an alternative universe version of the boys made famous in The (Kinda) Grand Your and other such challenges from VicVictory.
James Hurley - 20 year old actually named after the Twin Peaks character by his mother, and not even for a joke. He’s still trying to wrap his head around the series, despite watching it on VHS for the third time. In this AU, he’s a dedicated lover of Oasis, Kate Moss and Stellar Artois cans, in roughly that order.
Seb Anitolo - 19 year old Spanish guy from Guadalajara studying abroad via this new thing called ERASMUS, provided courtesy of the “European Union” which he’s still trying to get his head around. He’s got his Reebok’s, bootcut jeans and his fringe has curtains, because while he hates to admit it, Leonardo DiCaprio in Bax Luhrman’s Romeo + Juliet is his idol.
Martin Deenham - 20 year old with a not-so-secret love of this weird band from near Oxford called ‘Radiohead’. His friends think he’s mad for going on about computers being the end of us all, but he’s throughly convinced. On a more political note, he’s a proper “Things Can Only Get Better” New Labour supporter, repping that Blarite support wherever he can. Because it’s 1998 and all.
The Hanson Harrier II Plus is a mid-engined sports car capable of slicing through twisty roads with ease and launching itself out of corners like a jackrabbit.
Albatross Motors presents, more evidence that our engineers are just bonkers: The Albatross 570 ‘Sport.’ This incredible piece of engineering took one of our best Malaise Barges and souped it up to an insane degree. It’s powered by a perfectly adequately sized V8 engine producing 255 horsepower, with power going through the front wheels. The suspension has also been upgraded, allowing it to… well, not rip up a track, but close enough. If you are insane enough to want to buy this, please leave $9,173 in an unmarked envelope underneath the third chair from the door in the Albatross Motors Used Car Department. Someone will contact you using a withheld number.

this is the infamous “let’s go fast but not too fast” of the time for people that wants to go all out, anywhere, anytime, without breaking anything. not the car, not the bank, not even the speed limit. and since it’s so cheap and has limitless potential, the original engine is often found gone, but not with this one. it’s still in there. the screaming DOHC powerhouse is still in there and in absolutely perfect condition. barely any mods ever touched it.

1. 1989 Aeros Router GT
From the second year after the refresh that got rid of the bizarre pop-up headlights. Engine works reasonably well for what it is, a factory 3.7L DOHC V8 that was issued as a performance option (that, weirdly, got similar fuel economy to the base engine according to some).
2. 1997 Aeros Remex
Made in large part with Aeros’ Japanese partner (I forget the name), apparently to compete with all the other sports cars coming out of Japan these days. Unlike them, Aeros chose to market it on “value” above all else so it lacks many of the same creature comforts as its competitors (which is why I’m getting rid of it). The 3.6L SOHC V6 is a decent motor though.
this is your chance to get your hands on the legend that never was. made to fit group b requirements, only never got to race. didn’t stop Armada from selling thousands of these absolute stonkers, bless them.
comes with a little Italian v8 for god knows what reason, updated with EFI for emissions regs. good for 243hp. revs to the moon, goes like stink. this one doesn’t have all the offroad doodads on it, even if the drivetrain is all rally underneath, but definitely potential. or could be turned into a real street machine. would defs blow away those Erin fanboys.
selling because moving back to 'straya and the buggers don’t allow LHD! call on +44 01632 ****** between 9am and 9pm. serious offers only, no trades.
Just a heads up, the deadline is under 12 hours away for entering cars and race teams. Don’t worry if you already entered and don’t see you name on the list yet.
