Lorcan, et al
After 38 yrs of doing this high performance stuff,...its still worth
repeating. Anyone with money can buy a factory
hotrod, those with a great deal of skill can ride them on the edge,....
BUT,.........the people with determination
and a vision who fabricate an ultra high performance machine are the
STARS that shine on the rest of us
and SHOW US THE WAY. 'May the force be with you'
