Is that Joss Ronchetti's old one?

[bigand]

yes i bought it of joss .rebuilt it and now need to fine tune the handling

[preciousmetal]

Andy, nice to see its back racing. Thought JR had got it up to scratch so bit surprised it needed rebuilding

think we ought to have a day out to go and see it in action

[wav8]

[bigand]

I heard a rumour that all his toys were up for sale at the start of last year, as money was very tight. If that was the case, then there would have been plenty to fettle. I don't know the circumstances, but if true, then I hope Joss is on the up again now.

Yup. I know the "bullet" lotus sunbeam was up.for sale aswell last year. But he said it was to have "family time" but hope he will return to racing

good luck Andy. It's a rare beast

Sounds like a good idea.

Does the Holden Racing saloon race with you?

Also, surely yours is a Thundercoupe, rather than a Thundersaloon?
