I think Matt is too busy out there driving his car to post anything because Exocet 001 is road registered, and can be registered in any state in Australia.
NC Roadie, NC Racey, ND Racey….and a 30AE

Plus several others in the bone yard...

Slight case of wind burn, sunburn/welders flash. Couldn't drive around all day due to sick little boy and work commitments.
This week is going to be a big one.

They're still around. This chassis went up for sale recently as a running, registered car.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't seen any updates in 5 months so wasn't sure were they were at with it. Registered is good news. I remember asking long ago and never got an answer about it.

The first car was registered quite a while ago...I would have thought common knowledge for all of us who were following it.

Sure was. And was a great milestone for Matt. His #2 car should be better again

No posts in this section since xmas. Hard to make common knowledge without updates. How did you find out?

I had the funds for one late last year but never could get proper answers to my questions. So I spent the some funds on going to Japan instead. I'm thinking late this year I'll have the funds again. But I asked cos this thread for example had it's last update in Nov '14.

Thanks again for the info.

edit// Never mind. googled Matt's website and finally saw videos of one running and details of road registration.
