Not in blighty I suspect Andy!!! Sounds intriguing.....I'm hoping its not deja vu on the German 400bhp car that hadnt been run for a decade!!!!!

E M Wynne......what are you planning to do with this car? It sounds like a beast. What made you start with a GTA?

Hope to see you all next year at the ACE....will bring the beast.

Cheers Eddie.
