See my BMW Z8 online build

"My interests involve Le Mans racers from '49 to present, other 50s and 60s sports and GT cars. I have quite a collection of hard-to-find Japanese and European 1/24 resin kits. I plan to finish them all someday, but at the rate I'm going, it should take about 650 years!

I routinely attend the Goodwood Revival Meet at Lord March's Manor in Chichester, England. At this show, they throw multi-million dollar Ferraris, Ford Galaxies, and Aston-Martins into corners at full speed. It's a fabulous weekend of vintage racing, and I recommend anyone who gets the chance to attend, does so.

I'm also noted for Teal Ferraris, Cobras, and Aston-Martins."
