Default We just won a GT3 RS !!!

Submitted 6 tickets for a raffle and to my amazement my name was called. We are over the moon.

1/18 scale model:




The event was at the Melbourne, Florida American Muscle Car Museum. It is a private museum only open for charity events. It is the world's largest car museum powered exclusively by on-site solar panels on the property. Our PCA region uses the property for it auto crosses, but this was the first time I have seen the inside. Approximately 300 cars in pristine condition. Some cars have only a few dozen miles on them. Most are American muscle cars, but there a few Porsches, including three 2018 GT3RSs!

The entrance had a ring of eight Ford GT cars with a Shelby AC Cobra in the middle. Off to the side was a 1960s Ford GT race car, again in perfect condition. Amazing collection!

All for a good cause we were most happy to support. It was a fundraiser for a school for autistic children.
