A couple brought a GTR to our cars n coffee yesterday and offered to let me sit in it which I did. They are neat cars it was a rare color too which I liked a very dark subdued red.

My first and only experience with that variety GTR was in my yard.
This was about two days after the GTR hit the states.

Speaking of 300 SL'S I haven't heard through the grapevine yet what happened to my 'neighbor's' gullwing. I'm hoping it was just a breakdown and not an accident.

I made a couple Pocher kits a zillion years ago. Not sure what ever happened to them but that is a top drawer kit maker.

I didn't think so I liked it but it's one of those things everyone's taste is different. The owner said he doesn't like the seats that they are not comfortable. I felt they were comfortable they really hold you in but maybe I would feel different after some seat time.
