Would you believe... it was the Tiger the first 2 years, then the Karman
Ghia, and finally the Opel GT. These tied in with Chrysler, VW, then
Buick being the major advertizers of the same years. I hope Nickolodeon
runs the series again, as I'm a big fan.
I've got an eposode on tape where the bad guys have a beautiful robins
egg blue MKII. They do a wicked burn out of a parking lot- obviously a
posi-rear with traction bars, 'cause both tires hooked up real good with
no axle bounce!
There was a book published @ 2 years ago about the series with lots of
facts and trivia. The author and name escape me, anyone else come across
it?
