These look splendid, what’s the silver thing? 60’s?


Less annoying tag line.

If I could ever own a yank tank it’d be something like that or a black 60’s FBI type three box.

That silver car looks like something Carl maulden would’ve driven.

The Buick has gone wrong!
One front brake was sticking on.
It had me baffled for a bit as the calipers are newish and the master cylinder looks this century.
Turns out that a hose was iffy.
Rockauto to the rescue again.
Less than 25 euros delivered for a pair.

Nice to see the Buick again and look forward to a full race report! Well, just the carpark will do me....

Good old Rockauto, I had a problem a couple of years ago with a rear brake hose collapsing inside thus no rear brakes. Ordered new one and a couple of other bits and they came in about a week. Shame though that my bloody mechanic man then went on holiday for week, the uncaring bastard :-)
