Well, technically, they do. They're display models that can't move but they're Alfa's alright! MS news only bends the truth :D

I did hear rumours that in response SEAT are going to employ a bunch of convicted car thieves that are on the run from Durham prison to sneakily nick the wheels from 888's Smart car's and put them on bricks before each race begins. :p :

Actually Team 48 themselves (I.e The footballers) don't even have the showcar! There was only ever one but with slightly different body panels on each side so it looked like two!

Thats just shows SEATs' stupidity, as thats only going to cost Dunlop more :P

And it wouldnt matter, the Smart would still beat the SEATs racing on their brake discs! :P

By the time they appear the cars will be eligible for the Classic Touring Championship, Dan Eaves will be to old to drive and Scotland will be an independant state

Can't blame MN for that one they where told that Team 48 had the cars and where entered for the season neither of which are true.Even the green show car doesn't belong to them!!

thing is that team 48 actually paid their fees and have slightly less than no chance of making it out. still got them the media day publicity though

Stupid or just being inventive with their plans to put those flukey VXR's on bricks? :p :

The big rumour for 2009 is the new Touring Car series that has been cooked up.

Clyde Valley Racing, Xero, and Team 48 have all signed up to run 10 car teams. Organisers are expecting no cars to be on the grid for the first race.

Don't tar Xero with the same brush as Team48 and CVR!

Xero will be out in the BTCC during 2008!

You will have to wait a little longer to find out when!
