more Tradex

Because it was the 20th anniversary of the Tradex car show Murray Chambers' Ace Ventura was asked to be there. Still a fine show car even though Murray admits the paint job is 20 years old as well.

Always fun and tiring at the same time. Recovering even as I type. The Ron Gorans top fuel car, part of the "cacklefest".
