I might be 56, but thats not that old, nothing I drive or ride is stock, except my pick-em -up truck
comes from my old racing days, grew up with a dad that raced jags and morgans, I used to race TR-3's and 4's and kawazaki motorcycles, but was not good enough to ever pick up sponsors[

and heck , if you got to fix something, might as well make it "right"
