Shane Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Probably worth mentioning for the old timers on here, that this car was originally Adam's (Hacking and bashing) and then James (Turtleshead) car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It has some club history. I thought James had a Supra with wide Nur arches? Maybe that was another one of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
