Re: Oople 2012 Vintage Cougar racer
The 'V2' incarnation is looking great! The white chassis certainly looks different against the purple parts... I like it
I've been running my Cougar1 for two race meetings now, I'm just getting to grips with it but it seems quite easy to drive.... I also have a Cougar2 which needs rebuilding/restoring, but when I get that done it will be interesting to see how it compares with the older car.

As you probably know Mark, I'm no Schumacher fan but that does look great.
Love the white chassis
You going to be racing it?
