Default Late present from the wife
A few weeks a go my wife asked what I wanted for xmas, I emailed her an ad for a Crossle Formula Ford with a enclosed trailer and spares, pretty much everything needed to go play, guess what showed up today, now I need a tow vehicle

Damn. She got a hot sister?

What year is the Crossle? Can I ask how much it was?

It is an '82 50F so it cant run Club Ford, it was listed for $10.5, there are quite a few good deals right now, check www.apexspeed.com I was looking for something cheap and easy to run versus another GT car plus I have a rather large supply of "stuff" leftover from prior endeavors.

C'mon.. I'm sure the Boxster could have towed that tiny thing. Looks freakin awesome. Ever since I rejoined SCCA I have visions of a SRF, Formula Vee or Formula Ford. Then I remember I weigh too freaking much and would never fit

Congrats on the choice of wife...

Did the Zeintop for the Boxster also make it under the Christmas tree?
