Anyone in Northern California mind showing off their baby?

[Scott Thornley]

Hi all,

I've been lurking here for a couple weeks, and finally registered last night.

While I can't jump into building a kit in the near future, I'd kind of like to take a look at what's out there, in the flesh so to speak.

I commute weekly from East of Sac to the SF penninsula, and wonder if any of you in the area would mind my visiting your car.

Regards,
Scott

Gee I commute from Sac to Oakland!

Sorry, don't have one yet, but I hope to
real soon.

One of these days I have to take Bud Jones
up on his offer to come down to Livermore
and see his GTD. I also ran into a guy in
Davis yesterday who helped a friend build
one - not sure if it's still around.

There's a few in the Bay area, and some
owners are members here.

Hi Scott,

I've just taken delivery of my DRB GT-40 last week. I live just south of Santa Rosa and you are welcome to see the kit in it's scattered state (really fills up a garage!).

Give me an e-mail either through the forum or at work at dave.harris@varianinc.com

For anyone interested in picture of the delivery, I can e-mail them, but can not post them to the forum.

I am in Livermore and have a 10 year old GTD. Send me an e-mail if you want to come take a look.

[Scott Thornley]

Thank you for all for the offers. I've sent off PM's with my contact information.

What is with the Hwy 580/680 thing? Three of you must live within 10 or so miles of each other.

Ian - do you commute daily, or do you stay in Oakland during the week ?

Scott,
Sounds like a few of us might get together on saturday, april 19th. It would be a good time to check out a few cars. Check out the new owner thread.

[Scott Thornley]

Sounds great - I'll keep an eye on that topic.

[Ian K]

I don't know how I missed this.

Scott, I commute daily (except Wed).

Hi everybody, this is my first post here. I live about 45 minutes East of Sacramento. I'm not at an age where I can even consider owning a GT40, (I'm 17), but I thought it would be cool to come to this place and talk about GT40's with fellow enthusiasts.

If any of you guys ever take your car to a local show, be sure to post here, I'd love to see it. I think it's cool that so many people on this board are from Northern California.

I wish I could come this weekend, but I'm just too busy. I'm helping my Grandmother and my aunt move into a new house, and my parents have work that I am required to do for them. Maybe next time... [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

As for owning a GT-40, I look forward to that time with great enthusiasm. I honestly think that the GT-40 is the most beautiful car on the face of the Earth. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I'm in Placerville, it can be quite boring, but at least there isn't a lot of crime.
