Close. It was based in East Haddam, Ct from 1984 to about 1987. Then moved to East Hampton until its end in 1989. I was the service director. It was the 280i model coming into the US. About 150 per year.
Look at the shows title-FAST MONEY. Not ‘What will happen in the future.’
They were always cool to me. And I’m pretty far east. Wanted one when they 1st came out. (I was 9 at the time) My first street legal car when i turned 16. I had dozens of them when they were $100 cars. Kept driving them till they all rotted out. The only reason they are west coast based now is thats the only place…

While working at a Yamaha shop years back, I had one of the friends of the shop ask me if I wanted to ride on his team doing endurance races on his bike (Think it was a FJ 600 at the time.)

Outstanding in its field.
Yup-thats what I got out of the video. The guy ran him up the wall-he just didn’t lift. Tight racing on a small track-the wall is inbounds.
Who else figured out the car (or tried to) just by the opening pic?
He-he. I noticed the low psi too. Doesn’t the secret service have a tire pump around?
With a warranty.....

I’ve seen scarier battlebots.
As someone whos seen flatrack go from a thing-to near death-I’m so excited to see the the big upswing as of late. I watched every second of both nights on fans choice tv. Where the hell were all the fans? The place was empty in every shot I saw.
Everything from Ramblers to Pacers-and then Jeeps.
