It was pretty car. And it was, it was sort of like a, like a seven, but not quite as good as a bit heavier. And then, back to the century, I got involved in trying to persuade catarum and rain on racing cars to develop a new car. And so I put them together. And we spent a lot of time with Asian rain art and some of his designers and engineers. This was their absolute peak of their powers and making racing cars, and Caitarum had money at that point and then we had sales. And they came up with a design for a carbon fiber, modern Cox sports car. It would have retail early 2000s for about 25 grand. I mean, it was extraordinary. We had, I had a little moggling. I'm trying to find it earlier on. I've lost it. Wait there.
Speaker 1
How? How do you make a carbon tub car?
Speaker 5
So that's 20 grand. Exactly. No, 20
Speaker 1
Also, wait there. Two cars not being well. Just tell us he's all right. Yeah.
Speaker 5
Oh, look at you bounce back.
Speaker 1
Is he back on form? He's back on form. Good. Chris, continue with your story about the client. No. 25 grand. We, so
Speaker 2
the guy, Kieran Salter, who was the engineer at Rain Art behind a car called a Strathcaron.
Speaker 4
Some of you might remember Strathcaron
Speaker 1
or Strathcaron. I went to see that. That was unbelievable.
Speaker 2
So all the Strathcaron is, it was called in Rain. So Kieran Salter has now got a brilliant business in Silverstone doing composite, it's not clever engineering stuff. So we designed, it was designed, a
Speaker 2
model of it was made. And then, unfortunately, Rain Art went pop in the aftermath of the year, their US market is spring post 9-11. Most interestingly, and this is on the internet, and please God, no one look at it. Because it was a film made of it by the BBC of this discovery and the journey between two companies and trying to design and so forth. Ends in tears because there was no car because Rain Art went bust and Kieran ran out of money. But in it, you'll see moi wearing the worst suit ever
