Oh man. I should have realized. Isn't that the "Tobacco King" I can't remember where I read about that. Garage magazine perhaps? So cool....I'm beyond words. I want.
Garage magazine had a huge article about turbonique. With all the rules and regulations out there today half the great ideas that made it onto the track fifty years ago would be squashed on todays strips.
anybody get a selling price on the "tobacco king" monster? it looks like the company was flogging these torbo-netics kits to whoever might be interested.
