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'

Quick update
In between work, over the last few days, I've managed to get a little bit done to the rear calipers. The one on the left has been lightly cleaned to remove mud whilst the other then had corrosion removed with a dremel-a-like and wet and dry paper, then acid etched, then sprayed. Don't know if I'll get much more done before going away this week.
