Matt's Stradale

[Strat Fan]

Hi Matt,


Were you not tempted by the "original/repro" chassis that was sold at auction recently?
With the combination of that tub, the Ferrari engine & the quantity of correct parts that you already have then you would have been very close to creating the ultimate replica which would have been virtually indistinguishable from the real thing for a fraction of the price.
I read somewhere that the dark blue McGann car with the Giro nose was made from one of the Gartrac tubs & therefore wasn't "real", guess who was behind the claim.

No - I started building a standard Hawk (if there is such a thing) and just got a bit obsessive, but I guess I'm not alone in that

Sadly that's how it starts ....

Is this the same guy selling parts?
