Could have used my GT but
a) Its not standard
b) I sold it.
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....

I would normally say yes, but mine is still on soggy original suspension, waiting for new springs and shocks to be fitted. OK for normal use, but not for the track!
Also, I have only just got home after nearly six weeks in hospital, and unable to drive yet, if at all! Hoping to get back behind the wheel soon!
Hope you find a good one to show up the other cars!

If a link was changed to "ebay linky" then that was probably Sam, because she's sad..

Andy Crockett's TC is on 5j TC wheel rims and Andy would like to improve the cars chances with some 5 1/2 j TC rims and wider tyres, prior to the magazine track test in January.

Does anyone have set of the wider TC rims to sell him?

We've also been discussing some simple mods like polyurethane tie bar bushes to help her along.

Here's a pic
