Just one Spark and the whole thing can be burned to the ground

I have to confess I have just been on a little bit of a spending spree recently, which resulted in a PayPal transaction being temporarily blocked while Mastercard rang me with a security check to confirm that this bizarre range of purchases from the USA, Germany, France, Italy and China really was the work of one individual's deranged pursuit of a private hobby. (I was forced to confess, and they let me go).

Now here I am trying to get the model purchasing back under control and you spring this news on me. And Spark aren't the cheapest models around. I may have to sell my body on the street. Probably for medical research rather than recreational purposes.

Suggested retail for these Sparks is $60.

Dealers in the US must submit orders by March 10.

I don't think you are the only one with this problem

There are many models that we all would like to have but simply can't really afford. Like what happened with the banking industry and home mortgages, it might be better for everyone if companies slowed down their production a bit..

Pic: Right! I wonder if they made a new master for the 59 Chevys. Vitesse had a pretty nice one.

You're talking about playing doctors and nurses, then? Hmm, not a bad idea

If the Sparks are not significantly better than the Vitesses, I may yet be spared.
