They are a complete set and a take off for a customer. I'll contact him and see if he is interested in breaking the set. Steve (CTR)

Big Al, I am still lusting after the yellow Ginetta rear mini engined car that was trailered to the picnic in Magog 2002. Maybe you could find that. Jim

big al, yes i remember ray, so very sorry for your loss. could your daughter have moved to MN? pretty good company from what i know of them, lots of folks here working for them. some of my hockey buddies have organized zoom meetings for when we would normally be on the ice i am too old and cranky for it, told them if this hangs on until june 1 i will jump in. i have been watching classic car prices, usually when the economy falters lots of folks selling off and prices drop. no evidence of this just yet. later jim

A little pissed @ your 3M, my grand daughter worked for them in their Corporate HQ here in London, Ontario for 12 years and last year got down sized out of her Purchasing job, $125k a year, gone because 3M had a bad year and on top of that her boyfriend Ray Emery drowned, as a hockey fan you may well remember Ray, one tough M F

Hey Al, all is quiet here the last day you could walk into ER dad age 97 and I with his bride 85 spent
6 hours with 50 others in waiting room. Next day he spent 3 hours there as I sat in parking lot
waiting for a call, which came as a "he is OK we are sending him home in medical transport." From there
it was tents and all kind of test to get back in. He spent 2 weeks with a fractured hip trying to arrange
an x ray of his hip. I found some one who would take one, could not read it but take it yes. She took a
cell pic of screen and texted to hospital I got a call within minutes to bring him in for a hip replacement.
All done he is learning to walk stairs again. I had him taken to my home as falling twice in as many days
where he was living was not working. Kids doing online college classes from home is a huge help. Steve (CTR)

Those were great springs.
Ran the Blues on a 2 Mokes, a Cabrio, and the Pick-up.
Red on my Fast Road Mini.
The green were only suitable for tarmac racing.
I always thought old cars were expensive......then I got an ex-wife

I don't think he is still doing the S racer thing. I think we got the last set of red springs he had. I do have a set of S racer reds.
