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'

Stoneleigh shopping
Went on the annual pilgrimage to the National Kit Car show at Stoneleigh over the bank holiday weekend (we REALLY will have something to take next year......). There wasn't a whole lot new there although a MR2 based car caught our eye. However, shopped well - bought some Robin Hood 'economy' cycle wings - not the greatest quality but at £40 for 4 I can cope with a bit of trimming and sanding. Also got some SVC headlamps and some mirrors from Tifosi. Really hope to have time to fit these all soon....
