Marcos Maniacs

Mark,
 I'm the guy in Georgia that owned your Marcos for a short while.  It is the first Marcos that I had the pleasure to drive. (although I had owned 2 1800 models about a year earlier needing full restoration) The gentleman I purchased the car from had a collection of older cars and just handed me the keys to drive a couple of them.  I drove a late 70s Maserati Merak just after driving the Marcos and it felt like I was in my granny's grocery getter compared to the Marcos!  Here is my video I posted of driving the car....please excuse the poor sound quality but you can still hear the beautiful exhaust note..
