I had a Gurney Eagle or a Lotus, can't remember which it was, but same thing, a teather car. This one was made by Cox and was a single seater blue plastic car. The magnesium 5 spoke wheels with the hard rubber tires looked so cool, and the detail in the rest of the car was very realistic. We used to fire it up without the line and send it down the block, pick it up a couple of blocks away. Can't believe the bus never ran over it. lol
