Here's an update on the Ford-Ferrari Wars Proxy. The cars have been shipped by Mike to Richard in South Africa, so they should be with him in about 2-3 weeks time. We usually have 2 races in Richard's area (The 1953 and the Rhino River Raceway), plus some other possible tracks. So, stay tuned to this thread for updates on when the cars arrive in SA and when the next rounds will be held.

Wow! Look at those pictures! Is this a successful proxy or what!?!
I think I'll go out to the shop and run my busted body Ferrari that was too fragile to send. A couple of rounds, anyway. Before something else falls off.
My buddy, whose family is from Bloemfontein, and came here from Pietermaritzburg, would flip if he saw a ZA on one of my cars. I should have sent it, in pieces, to you anyway! Very nice touch.
