Default Speedster

While at a bar in Az where I golf a fellow car guy member shows me pics of a Speedster replica he bought and loves. He likes it so much he ordered a second to be painted the same purple as his new Porsche. I have been wanting a old Speedster for years but they cost a fortune. I'm looking at his replica and it is killer and it's "ALL NEW" as in maybe won't need to be worked on all the time. Each time I turn a wrench I am bruised and bleeding as the skin on my hands and arms is so messed up from probably bathing them in solvent tanks at work years ago. He bought his from Mark Hubbard who has a collector car showroom in Scottsdale. I have known Mark and his Dad Dick for years. They have several in stock. They are made by Vintage Motorcars of Hawaiian Gardens Ca. He said I could order thru him or thru their site and the price would be the same. I intended on ordering one but got nothing done for a few weeks. Then I see one in his inventory almost exactly like what I would order. I picked it up Wednesday and drove it to my house. What a killer car at a fraction of the price of a real one. And it's all new. And it has more HP. Been running it around for the last few days. Put it on my hoist to see how well it was done underneath and was delighted. Mark usually has a couple on order as they are such good sellers.
