The automatic cars I've built are....wonderful.
I agree 100%!!

Certainly not as cheap as yours on the initial purchase day, but probably about the same amount of money, once you fixed yours up.

Hmm, now that I know what a rebuild starts at it might be best to hand over the reigns of my build at this point.

Wouldn't hurt to know Greg looked everything over to make sure it's as perfect as possible.

I just read it. Kudos to Van, and to Greg for two different articles on his Strokers. No doubt that these articles will create new fans.
