Carl, et al....You got that right.. what a great 4x4! Put it on your wish
list for Santa!
Some motorsports trivia: "Wacky" Arnolt-Bristol actually started the real
"x" terminology....as the Arnolt-Bristol VINs were stamped 404X3000... to
3141! (142 total) And of course, with their chassis being so distinctively
high off the ground...the Arnolt-Bristol was destined to also become the
early prototype for the new Porsche 4X4 SUV!
Believe it or not: The super large killer magnet under the center of the
frame.....keeps my A-B "glued" to the track most of the time! And
occasionally, I have been able to drive right over other British car debris (
usually broken axles, exhaust pipes) deposited on the track ....without even
touching the undercarriage.....so "Wacky's" and Bertone's design really
wasn't such a bad one afterall! Ha!
Best racing to all of you for the Holidays!
