"A woman without curves is like a road without bends, you might get to your destination quicker but the ride is boring as hell'
Can tell me about this one Pete, took it back in July.
And is it just a coinsidence that they both have the scottish flag?
No coincidence.Originally Posted by UCR
The "Ecurie Ecosse" team was a Scottish team based in Edinburgh.
The St Andrews cross is their team emblem.
BUT this car is a replica !!
The REAL cars were either MWS or RFS plates, NEVER OFS
EDIT" A little bit of digging and it IS a fibreglass replica built in 1990.
NOT the same as a "real" one
