Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

I'm probably pushing my luck asking here, but there are a fair chunk of “car people”, so you never know. I am seeking information on the Probe series of vehicles designed by the Adams brothers (as well as information on the one-off Marcos Mantis sportsracer, which was loosely based on them). I've only ever seen one picture of the Probe 15, which is the “plastic fantastic” that I'm most interested in (the picture below is from my old car site) — that car was only 29″ tall, probably the smallest closed-canopy car ever made. It was also the “Durango 95″ in A Clockwork Orange as far as I can tell.

The Probe eventually spawned many models, and even some kit cars, and to the best of my knowledge, the original Probe 15 has basically been scrapped, with a Centaur GT roof and door section added, making the car 37″ tall instead of 29″, and losing the “bubbliness” of the original design.

I've read the article reproduced on the Imp specials site, but while it claims to be an article on the Probe 15, it's quite apparent that it's actually a Probe 16 (note the windshield and doors most obviously) or at a minimum a very modified Probe 15. Well, if anyone has any info on the original design of the Probe 15 I'd like to see it.

Other than that, I talked to the printers today and they've done proofs of the scrapbook and everything is looking good. I'd forgotten to send them one of the fonts for the cover (below), but they have that now. I'm told that it'll be printed tomorrow or the weekend at the latest, and then it's off to the bindery at the start of the week (so everything is on schedule).
