This site describes the construction of a home built, mid-engined car. First conceived in 1999 and inspired by cars such as the NCF Blitz and Onyx Tomcat. I finally began work this year(2005) with a friend, who is an Aircraft Engineer. Why Mistrale? Well, the author of 'A Year in Provence', described the Mistral as a "brutal, exhausting wind that can blow the ears off a donkey" - appropriate for a car with no roof, sides or windscreen. An 'e' was added as others have already used 'Mistral'

More rear suspension
Spent Monday evening cutting and drilling another plate for the other side of the suspension, and cutting another two suspension arms. Next will be to weld the rod-ends into these arms, then it'll be time to assemble the two wishbones. Unsuprisingly, Tuesday being Valentines day, I thought it prudent to spend the evening at home! Would be bitter irony to have anniversary of divorce on Valentines! It is now Wednesday, divorce succesfully avoided, I hope to do some more work tomorrow as I'm away at the weekend again. I have noticed that the site visitor count has hit 2000!! Thanks for looking everyone and keep watching!
