What he didn't tell you is that is One DROP DEAD BEAUTIFUL CAR For real...
wow .... Soft Yellow with an Ardun sticking out of the side covers... and
four individual Pipes hanging out each side....
Awesome piece of equipment.... and a TRUE hot rod.... this is the kind of
car that attracted me to Bonneville Racing in the first place... a very
individual effort... with tons of fore thought... and exceptional
execution...
Hey Bill can you tell I liked your car... I am going to brag on it before I
send the e-mail of the Jag results..... Yeah it was that cool.... Keith
