Spanish is a relatively recent acquisition. I grew up in Tennessee.

You're welcome Les. I'm glad you have a sense of humor. When I came across it by accident I thought you might get a kick out of it. I especially enjoyed the dubbed racing sound effects when they were out on the track.
Besides, you're somewhat a "legend" and celebrity around here, with a cult following. So it was only a matter of time before you were "outed".

I'll see if I can find my photos of the car. I only found one so far but have a few that may be of interest to you.

Did you once own all the cars in the photos?
Black cars and Cragers just seem to go together.
Thanks for the pic's, old photo's are so cool.

The AMX's were mine as well as a few of the old Volky's. We're 6 kids and 5 of us had Volky's when starting out driving. The 33 MG was my Dad's, the Isettas Dad's, the 1978 diesel Rabbit Mon's. Both AMX's met a grisly end at the hands of 15 and 16 yr old girls running red lights.
