    In the early to mid eighties there was an exotic car place called Forestall's GT Cars run by Steve Forestall (spelling may be wrong). He carried lots of Ferraris, AC Cobras, and other interesting cars. The store was just north of I-10 west of the old Igloo plant. I used to go there in college to browse and drool. Cool place and nice people. Anybody know what happened to them/Where they are now?

    That's where JRV worked, IIRC.

    He's at Pinnacle Motorsports, now........do not know what happened to Steve......on Post oak just south of Northwest Mall.

    Still plenty to droll over, there!

    FoH has the new MC12 racecar in the showroom. Track Day at TWS this weekend.......

    Thanks for the info. Glad to see he's still around, too bad it's not with Ferraris. To each his own, I guess.
