    Tim, if you follow the "Pictures" link in the the original post it will take you to a flickr page. Scroll below the photos and you will see:

    Pinging this back to the top, with a price change.

    I'd like to move this soon; reasonable price discussion seriously considered.

    Bob,

    Congrats on the sale. Always been a big fan of the RF 81. Just need more time, space and money. Then I'll get me one.

    What next on your list?

    Thanks, Bill. Not sure what car is next. I've always been a fan of the racing in spec classes, l so maybe something in there. This year I'm going to concentrate on driver development and either take another Skippy school (last one was in the 1980s, when I was much younger) or something similar.
