I’ve been busy with CAD and my new 3d Printer! Over at the shop there’s all sorts of new goodies that can be sent out by post. But I’m more than happy to bring anything you want to a race meeting. I’m…
Schumacher say their new LD3 has “Class leading front suspension geometry with durable components…” I’m not saying anything. Zip. Bubkiss. Niente. Nada. Not a sausage. I’m just going to post the logo for this more durable car. Keep looking until you see…
