Brake lights work, looks like a streetcar to me.
I think it looks hard as nails.

Is the 4" bore with the MS230 heads engine finally in there?
If so, very curieus by how much he can improve his time (very low nines before right?).

Cool on the new car, is the hood functional or is it a wing done up to look like a hood? Great work! |

Perfectly summed up, the old car had gone about as far we thought it could, so during a 17 hour ferry crossing coming back from the last EBI, Russell & Richie came up with the idea of doing a 'race car' version of the 'street car' and this is it. |
