Re: Are any replicas feasible as daily drivers?

Firstly, yes the RF40 comes with a windscreen wiper (singular) as per the originals.

Although I don't have my GT40 on the road yet, I would like to put in my 2 cents worth. All the reasons given above are valid, but the question would be, are any of these reasons show stoppers for you. Its all a matter of desire and compromise. I suspect that if you wanted a car that had no compromises, then you wouldn't be posing the question.

Incidentally, my daily "run-about" of choice for me is a high performance sports motorcycle. Talk about compromise. Hunched riding position, no carrying capacity, wearing riding gear even for short trips, carry the gear around with you when you get to your destination, putting up with ALL the elements, battling with traffic that thinks you're invisible... The GT40 would be a cake-walk after that [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ... although I doubt that I could bring myself to park it all day in a public car park [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
