Marcos Maniacs

Hi:

Wow what a nice garage.

I will keep my eyes out for one.  I am a member of the TVR club and hear about 
cars for sale.

I love cars also.  My interest in British cars came in the past few years.  

I enjoy building and driving cars also.  In the past few years I have tried to 
drive just about anything
I have two military vehicle for offroad.
I have dirt bikes to ride with my sons
I have a Steeda mustang which I drag race
I have the other cars that I take to local auto cross and open track days
I am game for anything with wheels or even tracks......

Did you own the blue G27 that wirewheel has?
That car is very very nice.  I thought about borrowing on my 401K to buy it.
May I ask how much you sold it for?


I saw a yellow cosworth powered G4 kick the pants off GT2 class cars at the 
Coronado Festival of Speed.  

There is a very fun video on youtube.

Best Regards
Robin

Hi Robin,
My stable consists of a Ginetta G4 (race car) a 1972 Mallock 11b and two Marcos 
#5131 and #4003 an early hillclimb car, I've sold my Caterham twincam last year 
and my Ginetta G27 went to Florida in Jan. the Tvr I desire is a Vixen S2 with 
1600 x-flow.
I live on the west coast of Canada, my other desirable car is a Piper GTT, have 
you seen one?
At my age I don't care about re-selling cars or keeping them authentic, just the 
enjoyment of building and racing.........
