Re: Need a parts car Capri

Hmm, i think most of those cars are Hanks? I stopped by his house in
florida on vacation a couple years ago and bought some center caps,
and looked around at some cool stuff he has. When i was there i didnt
see any of those coupes though? i saw most of those convertibles he
has pictured. It was pretty cool to see a bunch of McLarens
altogether.
