[DEMUG] HD replacement

[Roy Atkinson]

Well, yeah, if you are prepared to have a very unhappy Leopard  
experience.

Back in the late 60's, the same Sports Car Club of America (SCCA)  
class that included the MG C (a 6 cylinder, 140 mph zoomer) also  
included the Karmann Ghia by VW, that could do 70 with some tail wind.  
If straining to stay on the track suits, you can lower the bar. (I  
drove the MG C and Triumph GT6.)
