Hi my name is Tom Groh do you know if you can purchase a poster of thrust ssc
and have it signed by Andy Green. My step-father broke the world land speed
record
in 1964 driving the wingfoot express. His name is Tom Green would like to
obtain
a personalized signed poster to Tom Green from Andy if possible
Tom,
Go directly to their home page, from our own cool links room - I will post your email on the thrust page though - If you send
me photo's of Tom Green with his car & info to go with it I will put it up here on the Thrust
page too! Just get the photos scanned & saved as jpeg's & saved on a disk - take home to
your computer & email them to me.
Thanks for the interest
Doc Hemp
