I don't know why we haven't had this before, but if it is a repost, I can't find it.
A point for make/model/year.

Two guys - one idea  :o

We have the same car posted within hours. My picture does not show as much as the other puzzle does, but our wise adminstrators might merge both?

Mine was first btw... :D

During the race, the puzzle car had some body contact...
