In Canada, YES, in North Carolina ....No, I have a Spider, and can lay
my hands on a 87 X1/9 in excellant shape for $300, and and a second
spider with good body for $30. Needless to say, I now have two
Spiders...
Both of these cheap cars are bad drive train cars, but the bodies are
excellant.
Where are you taking your next vacation, and yes they allow trailer
parking at most Motels...
