Marcos Maniacs

Don,

I am running the Marcos 13" alloy wheels and found a
set of WinStar Phaser R21 P185x60HR13 tires.  No
probles with clearance for the tires but ground
clearance is tight on the exhaust system. The car
handles great.

This summer Michael Crews and I made history by
showing two Marcos cars at the Roanoke,Virginia Star
City Motor Madness event here in the Blue Ridge
Mountains of SW Virginia.  The probably the largest
gathering of Marcos cars ever in The Blue Ridge.
