But as to your new track car, the Spitfire range is limited and of course pricey... I am sure you will find something knowing your resourcefulness.I would like to have entered int he AROC Valantine's Day run at Sandown, but that is pushing it a bit with other things to do and going on holidays in March...So May 9th may be me....But as to your new track car, the Spitfire range is limited and of course pricey...

Actually there was a much bigger variety of cars their, mostly British but some yank tank to, the penrite tent had all the ex race cars which they would fire up every hour so.. A very nice racing Daytona looked a million dollars. Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"
