Hi Gang
I race an MGA Coupe because I had a MKII project car I could not finish when I
got married, and had to sell it when I moved from Canada to the states.
I race a Lotus Super 7 because I had to cancel the order in the 70's to buy a
ring to get married to the gal who made me sell my MGA.
I race a Lotus 51 because my new wife lets me race and they are so damn fun.
I will be racing a GT6+ as soon as I get it back together because they are a
bit of an engineering/driving challenge with the engine so far forward and the
poor rear suspension. My brother had one during university while I had a
MGB-GT and we use to have a blast them.
Cheers to the memories, and those wifes that support our sport :)
