I saw this in my Classic American mag last night NaT, seems these could help with registering the TA if needs be?

Kingstown shipped my Camaro over and I’ve used them several times before. Great service, highly recommended !

Saw a bumper sticker on a 50's Chevy truck at the Guildford cruise some years ago which said "If it's got Wheels or Tits it's trouble"

It kind of stuck in my head for some reason yes
And if you have any other hobbies, always remember: if it flies, floats or f***s - rent it! rofl

More Pamela!
This is turning into a Pamela fan club at this rate,

Don't mind a nice distraction from motors.

Wonder if she looks as good today, scratchchin
Think she’d be about 68 now
Bout the same age as me ! Bless er’
Given the Red Neck reputation of Drag Racing I do hope they keep the dollys in the stage lane!

Can’t imagine a 6’3 250 pound hairy Trans have the same appeal hehe

If you use an acronym.....like
"TA" for your car it still doesn't sound quite right........I'd kinda be worried about even using "Poncho" in case that was badly misinterpreted as some form of WW2 RAF waxed, twirly handlebar moustached styled, metrosexual 'Hipster' nickname for a Mexican rent boy.......

Oof, yes please chaps! Absolutely love them for so many reasons - I've not driven one but every article I've ever read about them (old and new) says they handle beautifully, not everyone 'gets' them but as far as I'm concerned they are another example of Gandini's genius and look better with every year that passes (even more so on 14'' Cromodoras). I don't care if people think they're not real Ferraris, I don't care if they're prone to the dreaded rot and it doesn't matter that it wasn't designed and built by Pininfarina, if it was good enough for Enzo to use his beloved son's name on it, it's good enough for me. Mind you, the original brochure for the earlier 246GT said it was 'almost a Ferrari'... but then not every Ferrari has to have twelve cylinders. I'd have one in a heartbeat, no question.

Sermon over! hehe

47 years I’ve wanted one of these , I’m actually gob smacked !
And very soon as in next week she’ll be safely tucked away in my garage, and yet again “so it begins “
So first thing is to source a cheapish Rotisserie frame,
I’m far too old to go lying on my back for 3 months!!
It’s guna be tight but should just have enough head room to spin the body tub,
I figure if I can buy one for say a monkey should be able to flog it for at least half that,
Anyone got one they’re not currently using?? lol

You MUST do a build thread and link it here, please! As discussed on email, please let me know if you are importing parts, as I reckon a few of us would come in and get bits, and split shipping on a container.

Great news NaT. I don't generally like cars in white......but a purposeful muscle car is a totally different thing!
Reminds me back in the mid 70's when one of the Jones brothers has a white 455 Super Duty.......what a tool that was!
