	The guy wanted my Fiat which I can't get parts for... And well, this is REALLY cool. So I had to. It's a 1969 Altona Forumla Vee, built by Horst Kroll for motorsports guru Brian Stewart. He won the 1969 Canadian Championship with it, and since then it's been owned by a few enthusiasts, but at this point it's been mothballed since 1995. http://cmhf.ca/brian-stewart/ Horst Kroll (who was pretty famous in the Canadian racing world in the 70s and 80s) still runs a repair shop, and Altona Automotive still exists, so I'm really hoping to find some info on this thing. Oh and I can't wait to get it fired up and take it to the vintage races next year

	Hahaha! Only problem is, I think mine was one of 2 or 3 of that particular model in Canada, so there weren't really any to follow!

one was burnt up, the other was rotted so bad that the only thing holding it together was the paint... and yours was the only one that sort of rolled under its own power.

	sweeet ride man! Definitely better than a Fiat. kind of a funny looking exhaust....why are the pipes so long? I'm guessing there must be a good reason for the freaky bend back over and around the axle - straight back woulda been so much easier.

	Basically, with the pipes, it's to keep all four exhaust ports hooked up to the same length of pipe (since there are two on the front and two on the rear of the engine- think of it as "equal length headers"... there's a specific length of pipe coming from each exhaust port, basically tuned for maximum performance at a certain RPM range.

That's being generous. I've never seen a car with the rear brakes seized so badly.

They freed up the second I left it unattended on the trailer when I left to get tie down straps.
