Actually they did have some good folk on there , the young gal comes from a family that has been racing rally cars for 20+ years and is a darn good naive and driver.
Since a drift car isn't going to be running long periods it would probably be OK.

As for the Honey Bee , my buddies mom had one brand new. B210 did pretty well at SCCA Nationals , we used to get one at regionals with a 175HP motor in it that went really well but at that power level it was a maintenance monster.

it was that guy that was only really in the first half of the show. Everyone else was great, that guy just led them on a adventure that wasn't needed.

Howdy- Bryan here.

Today I spoke with the company that was hired by us in the 70's to do the graphics for the HoneyBee. They are digging through old archives to see if the orginal artwork still exists. I'm going to have some new decals made. Is there any interest from you guys for those as well?

I will definitely be at JCCS this year. Looking forward to meeting you fellows! Hope there is a B-210 or two.

Check this out: I wrote this article on the HoneyBee for the Bravo TV network. The HoneyBee is one of the cars that made me want to be a car designer. I think you'll get a kick out of the column. Feel free to post comments on the Bravo site.

i'll be there again. There should be about 3 other 210's that belong to people on here.

About the Monster Garage episode, many of us know Mario, and the producers wanted him to play the part of an idiot. Even though he is kind of crazy in a good way in real life.

The show is not really reailty TV.

There were a few last year as I recall. It was a good show, and I hope Miss Yokohama is there again!

Depending on cost, I would buy some decals just to hang onto.

I'll be at the show just visiting. I'll be driving my 1200, but won't be in the show. I hope I run into some of you guys too.

Brian,
There is a B210 on Craigslist San Diego right now. It looks rough but might be good for a donor car depending on what you find. Just a heads up.
