I cannot believe you're selling this, to this date, this rabbit is the nicest I have ever seen... and I've been to a few car shows... Good luck with the sale, are you building a new one, or are you not racing still?

Mark,
What are your plans after selling the car? Are you getting out. I have video of the car when it was still in ITB. Its a shame you are selling it, hopefully it goes to a good home.
