I just got the latest issue of Classic Auto Restorer. This is the October
1994 issue, has a red T-bird on the cover, and the new logo. Anyway, the
interesting and SOL related item is the article on the "La Carrera Classic"
road race in Mexico. The article is really about this lovely blue Allard K2
that entered the race, but on page 46 it looks like Darren Stone's bugeye
"Redcar" is the sprite described as "A Bugeye Sprite makes its way back to
Ensenada after turnaround at Valle de la Trinidad."
For those of you without the magazine, and for Darren to confirm his world
wide fame, the picture is a rear shot of a Sprite entering a "S" curve.
The Bugeye is red with twin "cobraesque" white racing stripes, has Mini Mania
sticers over the left rear wheel, crossed union jack and mexican flags on the
rear deck, license plate with number 59 for the race, and a driver of about
Darren's height wearing a red helmet.
So Darren, is that you and Redcar? I'll scan the image in on monday
perhaps...
>>Yup, that's me. Too bad you cannot see the "for sale"
sticker along the rocker panel .... FYI, we also got
our picture & a quote in the May issue of Victory Lane.
For those of you who were following this year's
write up of our escapades south of the border, I
apologize for not sending out anything past part II.
Just after returning from Mexico I figured out I
figured out how to ask my girlfriend to marry me,
she said yes, and this Saturday is our big day ! So
I've been a *bit* busy planning a wedding, moving,
trying to get the Riley together to be the wedding car,
etc. My humblest apologies to those who have been
eagerly perched at their terminals awaiting pt III -
don't give up - I will send it out before I leave on
our honeymoon.
cheers, and counting down,
daren
