Now that is something else! A Twin Turbo GT40, I think the UK fellows are far ahead of us on GT40 tinkering!

The yellow car is particularily nice, I'm planning a paint scheme that is the same.

Ron, not only do they tinker with drivetrains, they REALLY know how to go around corners fast! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Hi Brian

Hi Chris, My comments come from spending three weeks in the UK this past spring. After outings at Goodwood, Donnington and some hair raising rides on the public roads, I became a believer in handling. I thought I had been in and driven some pretty fair handling American cars, but after the GT-40 replica, my mind has been altered.........

Speaking of corners and tracks and jandling, you guys will have to come to Australia and try out the hill climb at Arthurs' Seat. It is guaranteed to get the adrenaline moving. Call Robert at Roaring Forties for info... [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

We are in the process of looking for wheels. Really like the wheels on Dave Parker's car.
Dave, if you're online, where did you get them?

Thanks

Keith
