Pete, looks absolutely fantastic. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Can't wait to see it on the road.

I take it back about posting more pics...here they come. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Pete McCluskey. · 07-13-05, 12:35 AM

Three [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Craig White · 07-13-05, 12:37 AM

Just one thing...it would look better with front number plate fitted. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hopefully soon.

Pete McCluskey. · 07-13-05, 12:38 AM

Yellow Pinstripe and rego is all that is left to do. Then it is party time [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I hope so to Craig, then the drinks are on me. There is a plate on the back

Well hooray at last, looks brilliant Pete [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Now that,that is out of the way ,would you like to start another little project?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
On to the GT40 traffic jam [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Pete McCluskey. · 07-13-05, 01:17 AM

Thanks boys,I'm always up for another project Chris. What did you have in mind?

Tim Kay · 07-13-05, 02:43 AM

Pete,

Are you sleeping in it yet [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Peter D · 07-13-05, 07:16 AM

Pete, she has turned out an absolute stunner !

Any bets on whether you or Di gets the first drive ????

So bloody close now - you had better start prepping the neighbours for the onslaught !

Kind Regards,

Peter D.

Pete McCluskey. · 07-13-05, 07:23 PM

Thanks Peter, you can back me coz I know about the trade plate on the back [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Pete McCluskey. · 07-14-05, 02:45 AM

Of course he'll get the 1st drive. I can't wait to see the smile on his face - and I don't mind if he sleeps in it!!
Di

Pete McCluskey. · 07-14-05, 05:18 AM

Uh OH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] It appears that not only is the lovely Di [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] reading my post's she has learned to reply [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]. At least she concedes that I get first drive [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Of course that may mean that from then on it is hers and I get the RX8 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
I think she should stick to fishing...

Peter D · 07-14-05, 05:33 AM

Di, you have just opened "Pandora's Box" (so to speak) - sleeping in a GT40 raises some questions :

- with whom ?

- doing what ?

- does your medical insurance cover chiropractors ?

- ask naughty old Bill 'X' about it & see how many "red-faced icons" you get ! (name witheld to protect the guilty - there are enough "Bills" on the Forum for him to remain hidden - or fess up & become a legend) !

Have fun - like that's going to be hard !

Kind Regards,

Peter D.

Bill Bayard · 07-14-05, 06:44 AM

Pete,

All I can say is that you'd better start taking yoga classes immediately! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Flexibility is the key! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

To be safe, keep your cellphone nearby,

with your chiropractor's number on speed dial! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

TimOz40 · 07-14-05, 05:12 PM

Pete,
Goongrats mate! The car looks sensational. I'm sure you are going to enjoy it soon.

Pete McCluskey. · 07-14-05, 05:50 PM

Thanks Tim. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Peter D and Bill, I can assure you that I have no intention of sleeping in it. Maybe if I was eighteen I would try it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] But these days comfort takes priority.
However I am curious to know if um er [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] it is possible. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Has anyone actually managed Er [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] IT? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
With Pandora or anyone of her mates [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Maybe Bill
X has the key to the correct technique [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I've got a confession...my wife has driven the GT40 more than I have. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Hoping to rectify that once it's back on the road after the rebuild. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Will Di take it out on the track? I'm pretty sure my other half will give it a go.

And you guys have got me thinking about possible positions...may be possible with the door open... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Bill Bayard · 07-14-05, 09:10 PM

Pete,

It's possible, but it ain't easy! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Craig,

Door open? Now that's just plain cheating! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Bill

Peter D · 07-15-05, 12:14 AM

Sooooo, Bill "X" is unmasked by his own admission !!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Pete McCluskey. · 07-15-05, 05:30 AM

Craig, I asked Di about track days and she said " Nah I would'nt like to embarrass the guys". [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Dont you just love confident Chicks?.
Bill is it really possible with the doors closed? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] You bloody LEGEND!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
