Hello to all,
This is my first post here.
I currently have a humble little ride.
However, I am hoping, in good time, to own something a little nicer.
However, for now, this is my toy.

Its not really much to look at. But, with a little work put into her, she is fun to drive!

Don't put yourself down Richard, it looks like a very nice car and a whole load of fun.

Thanks,
Taking a look around the site, I fail to compare to some readers Porsche's and Lotus's, etc.

My toy is fun, but not as fun as, say, a 911, or Esprit!
Maybe someday!


Thanks again.

Rich.

Hey Rich, dont sweat it. Speaking as someone who turned up to a PH meet in his little Fiat convertible I know that I dont match up to some of the exotic metal exhibited on this site, but I love cars, and enjoy what I have, and to me that is all that counts!

Car looks wicked! As someone who previously owned one of these machines (same model) I can give it the thumbs up for speed / reliability. No complaints.

DD,

This was my elder son David's first real car, and what a delight it was to drive. Great build quality too, and absolutely no problems whatsoever.

Enjoy!

Thanks!

She is a fun car. With the modifications Ive done, it isnt much of a quarter miler, but get her out on the open roads and she really gets!

At the Silver State Classic Challenge (Here in Nevada) a few years back, I found that she is a really comfortable cruiser at 130mph. She can squeek out about 150mph... but thats pushing the redline.

Im happy with that...

Rich.
