Re: Marcos 1973 3 litre Volvo wheel fitment

2002-01-17 by martin_easterbrook

Hi Don,

I'm in Farnborough, England (about 40miles SW of London).  
Unfortunately the car is at my father's house in Cornwall (far SW of 
England, about 250 miles away), so I only get to play with the car 
now and again.  It's much more fun to drive when I'm in the car on 
my own though - I don't like driving it slowly, it doesn't 
feel "right" somehow.  There are lots of empty tight and twisty 
roads in Cornwall - hussling the Marcos along them is loads of fun, 
the handling really shines at high speed.


Thanks for the pointers, I'll check out this site more fully 
tomorrow at work - I'm on a 56k link here at home.  I'll try to get 
hold of some pics and post them here too.

Martin
