It is a highly sophisticated experimental test model developed to investigate the alteration of human perception through exposure to certain forms of automobile. The project was passed on to Capt. Jimmy T. Munro who has extended the models capabilities to conduct the final experiment this August and thus obtaining the first definitive results for this field of research. Capt. Jimmy T. Munro has contracted in two other eminent scientists to help verify the results of this experiment; Richard Robbins and Clive Gomm. The profile of these three world renowned scientists is summarised in the crew. The Olympic Flame is based loosely on the Mark 3, 1.6 Ford Capri Laser manufactured in German in 1987. The original Ford Capri was developed in the mid 1960's to give Europe its first "muscle car". At this time Ford spotted a gap in the car market; they found that Europeans were unable to purchase cars which did not compromise performance for styling. Hence they redesigned the Ford Mustang placing a greater emphasis on luxury. |
