MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. and by the way - the driver of the turtled A6GCS - per the Veloce book review - is said to have escaped with minor injuries [and a new appreciation for the hazards of long distance sports car races] ...
  2. with some added research - fr Veloce Today, The Ultimate Car page site, Silodrome and Concept Cars Site - I've confirmed that Maserati had two entries in the "54 Sebring race - neither finished - I'll build number 42 / chassis 2053 - partly because it has changed hands several times in recent years and has been featured in a number of auction house sales with the requisite photo walk-a-rounds ....

  7. Thanks for additions - for the knee injury - here’s the fix - just bash a hole in the wall behind your workbench and stick your immobile leg right thru - don’t tel the misses …
