Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 When were you going to mention being awarded Caltex My Minter Grand Champion, and making the front cover and getting a write-up on your car in the December issue of New Zealand Classic Car magazine? Or were you going to quietly let that go unnoticed because there's a picture of you in the article? Congratulations anyway. Everybody go buy a copy etc. Mods move this to Manda's project discussion thread if it's not appropriate here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
