Oh, there is so many vehicles! Looks interesting, do any of them run? Or are they purely immobile exhibits?

[kittn-paws]

A good chunk of our vehicles are in full functional order, as of now you can't unfortantley see any vehicles in action due to strict restrictions by our insurance but we are working towards being able to run them. If anything changes I'll update on my blog! :D
