That's all fine and dandy, Russell. But did you sport the correct shorts on your drive? Surely the car was sold with a pair??

maybe a weird question, but how does Arnie's car compare to this one?

the reason i ask is because they have (to me) the same 'idea' as cars and are drivers and not so much performance or dragrace cars. they don't have the biggest engine, but you said at the first EBI the Mohlman car was one of the funnest to drive in a way. maybe this one is for that reason comparable

Arnies car drives like a brand new car and with the small engine it revs really freely, its tight and is easy to drive...... Dons car is little more rustic it has wider tyres, stiffer suspension and has been worked on, the engine is similar but not as nippy due to the carb (twin carbs vrs arnies twin carbS), they both smell the same....... that old car smell its great. When you sit behind the wheel you can see them back in the day having fun and shooting off from the traffic lights (signals) and the other think they have in common if that Blue Stickers in the rear windows  Wink
