I was headed north on 198 and passed a nice Malaga squaretail heading southbound. This was ~4:50pm today. Anyone here? _________________ Brett 1971 2002 "Webby"

That'd probably be it. We were going opposite ways, but with the brief sight I got it looked like a pretty nice car. I plan on calling you guys myself when mine's ready for paint and body work. _________________ Brett 1971 2002 "Webby"

I say old chap....anyone seen Peter!?!? Awesome, he's driving his car! Another happy SCR customer driving their prized possession!

The guys at SCR continue to put amazingly well restored cars out there for true enthusiasts to drive. My hats off to Peter and his gorgeous Malaga tii. Great job guys!

Yeah that has to be Peter! We finished the full body and mechanical restoration on that car about three weeks ago, he's one of the rare ones who wants a car restored to the nines so he can USE THE HELL OUT OF IT! He'll be ripping around there for years to come! He's from Hampton but told me he has a nice loop up through Chaplin/Eastford/Pomfret back to Hampton via Rte 97 that he likes to use midday to clear his head!

Nice to see another CT guy on the boards!

Ever seen this tooling around up there?

Well that's good to hear. Hopefully I'll see his car around some more. I haven't seen that military rod around the area, and I'd definitely remember it. There are so many great rides hiding in garages up here! Good thing the weather's turning and they're starting to come out. _________________ Brett 1971 2002 "Webby"
