Hi,
my name is Jerome, I'm the guy from France who bought Small Wonder from Troy.
I found it on ad somewhere in the net, and... I fall in love!
Now, I run it during some events in Europe (Belgium and Germany), with other old race cars.
Here's a hard lunch during Das Drag Day#8 in 2010.
I still enjoy it! If someone want more pics of it's actual condictions, I may send some 
Did someone have the newsletter from your club with Small Wonder on it for sale?
I'm searching all infos/ periods pics about it. |

Very cool stuff! 
I remember GASS, have a couple newsletters or such tucked away someplace. Never got around to joining, tho'. It would have been worth it just for the cool swag.
