The Wing

firetat13 · November 20th, 2008, 8:51 PM

did anyone else notice that the wing they put on the van was the wing form the ex-F1 team of Super Aguri? at least i think it was.

cheers

By the 'van' you mean the Avantime? Maybe the big writing on the back saying 'Honda' gives us a clue to where it came from. images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Also there was no need for a new thread for this. So how old do we think this one is then?

Super Aguri used Honda-engines and their rear wing had Honda-text on it.
I think it was Super Aguri wing since there's Aguri logo on the bottom corner of the side

And Honda F1 cars have not been red and white for some time. BAR-Honda was and the rear wing said Lucky Strike

I stand corrected, it is a super aguri wing. I apologise.

Still, there is no need for a separate thread about this, is there?

We haven't had a spam thread in a while though. Fire away, boys and girls.

It was.

Ok, sorry, that's about the limit of flaming for a single thread. Yes it was a Super Aguri wing but I think most people spotted it and didn't think it was worth a mention.

Well I didn't know, and now I do. I hope someone feels validated.

It's from the SA06, I think. I actually researched this a little bit after the episode, because I don't have a life at the moment.

..it cornered real sweet after the suspension mods though...

oh are we not discussing this anymore?

IIRC, it was mentioned in the segment where the wing was from. IIRC, Richard bought it on some charity auction or something, but i could be wrong.
