What I drove today!
 
I drove a Brabham Repco at the East Hampton race track. My first set of laps
I got it up to 140 mph. After a few pointers from Stirling Moss I got it up
to 173 mph!

Not bad for a car nearly 40 years old.

Jack Brabham lived across the road from my mum.
His dad was the local butcher.

Which one is the real one? I think earthlink Bobsprit now posts more
than aol Bobprit. Do we go by volume?

You should know that since you drive one of those imitation cars.

You mean like the 97 Pt. MG TF I recently bid on and won?

Still waiting for you to post a picture of it with Suzanne behind the
wheel.

I will in the spring. We've removed the engine for SB and repaint and then
redoing the dash. PO messed with it. The car is otherwise perfect and original.
How about pic of Suzzy in our Alpha?

So much for claims that the car is 97 points.

It is 97 points. We won't use the car for shows, so I'm adding a new dash
(keeping the original of course). Also swapping out the steering wheel.
Repainting the engine because of some bubbling and it was gauranteed. We plan
to drive the car, so the 97 points sure won't last.
Now I'm looking for a deal on a MGA twincan or Austin Healy 3000 down the road.

Car is in storage. We'll be using it daily come spring.
Watsa matta, don't want to see her in the Alpha?
