Re: Yet another Customised Optima Mid Custom Special

Turbo Optima Mid Freshly Built
The second gen of the Mid family would have to be my favorite. It had enough changes from the original to make it unique in my view. The upgrades included thicker anodized chassis, adjustable tie rods, front and rear swaybars, fiberglass shock towers, and a slick rear fiberglass brace as to say &quo...

Re: The rarest car in my fleet!
Just beautiful! Love the body color scheme, the matching wheels, the brushless set up. Next time you take it out, have someone take video and post it on youtube, so we can all enjoy
