edinmass Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Looks like a decent car......too bad about the paint on the engine. That price is probably a shill bid, as the car would not be expected to sell so high. Looks like it would make a great driver if sorted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Ed, for exposing the (purported) wrongdoing. Everyone should do that--pointedly, unflinchingly, kindly-- when it occurs. It would make cheating and stealing harder for those few bad characters who would hurt the enjoyment of our hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such skills don’t come cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
