Re: T70 barn find ?

Johan, I think Iv'e sat in your hertige car! Iv'e twiddled the bits and made race car sounds in it too![img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif[/img]

On a visit to Can-am Exotics (if I remember the name right) see thier (one and only example?) Lola 'kit' car. They had just broken the Audi tranny in thier car and your blue one was sitting right next to it (before you owned it I imagine) So after drooling over the quality of thier car which was first rate, I hopped in yours to check out a 'real' Lola. Right then and there I new I wanted FAT tires on whatever I build as thiers with undersized wheel/rubber looked 'weak'.

Since, to my knowledge Exotics never built a car for sale (the same reason I didnt buy one), I am now off to our friend Fran Hall (does Fran have any connection to this heritage car?)

I was like a kid in a candy store when I went out to see Fran's offering's....which one to pick, which one to pick. Jeeezuss I'm hopeless.

Anyway, I hope Ive connected all the dots accurately and havent just made a huge BOOB out of myself.
Any truth to my story?

Rob
