ahh so it is true. I would have really loved to have had the chance to meet him, get signatures etc. Very sad on one hand to hear the legend passed away.

But on the other this will do the sigma turbo and in particular the PWS values the world of good ontop of coming into vintage status for value purposes.

oh and aftera google etc i was so tempted to stir one guy nascar12 on one forum, by letting him know his falcon has nothing on our little sigmas.... he found the very idea that there could be a sigma enthusiast forum or sites laughable. Obviously hasnt been 'spanked by a sigma lately'
