CIH Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 If anone reads Pratical Performance Car they'll know there's a regular contributor who runs a rolling road. He kacked his pants driving a similar Maserarti. And he was running it up to speed on the rollers too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
