Indeed. the TF is a blast from the past! I'd love to have a go in the next few years. My only concern is that the balance between sanity (i.e. some common sense crowd control vs the Italian spectator lunacy that still prevails...) might well tip into a SAFE but mundane ghost of an event. The balance is tricky!

"saw your post for a 33; did you find one?"
Several! Sadly, not one that I can afford... which is a shame, because if I had one it would be aggressively campaigned and enjoyed by lots of people... instead of being dusted but hidden away in some private collection.
So I am left to have a blast in my GTA replica and hopefully bring a smile to a handful of followers.
