chrisc Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Team - it looks like 7-9 cars so far and a visit to the two at Super7Cars (David will have a brand new hip and I will have a missing prostate! We both have surgery this wed..) If summer stays it will be a blast. 600kms on the new SuperStalker in about two weeks. Settling in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
