Somebody add this to the FAQ/Articles section!

Read this thread, this thread and, uh, this thread

Oh yeah, and learn to use the search feature [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Buzz,
You crack me up. When I talked to you on the phone you made it sound as though you knew little about computers. BOY!, you learn fast! I think it's a great think to see your enthusiasum and willingness to jump in and help a new
member. This is what makes this site so good.
I wish you well and great fun on your GT40 journey.

Hey, c'mon, I answered the guy's question, and somewhat less-than-tactfully pointed out the availabilty of the wonderful self-service features of the forum. What's wrong with that? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The question's also been asked enough times that we ought to condense the knowledge that we have into a FAQ to make the answer easier for people to find.

If only.. Have another read ..
Forget it...

I would have pointed him at Ron's recent discussion that said things like don't expect us to be nice if your first post is a question that's been asked before (or something like that), but I can't find it...

I like to see people at least make an effort, but maybe that's just me (and don't let me scare you off, Tstar - it's really not as big a deal as it is appearing from this discussion - that's what the smileys are for [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]). In any case, since nobody else has actually *answered* the question, here it is, condensed from the above-cited threads, and suitable for inclusion in the FAQ/Articles section:

Gulf Colors

These may be available as "Gulf Blue" & "Gulf Orange" from your paint supplier. The color codes from the original production car record sheets specify:

Light Blue: P030-8013
Marigold: P030-3393

These codes were both British Leyland (Triumph) colors. They apparently correspond to the following:

Berger Ref 1125 Standard Triumph Powder Blue
Berger Ref 1456 Triumph Marigold

The dark stripe between the orange and blue should be dark blue, not black, but we don't have a paint code for that color.

Hersh:

It's ten days since I kidnaped that teenager, got E-mail, and did my first post here. Thanks for your encouragement!!

Hey Steve:

Great recovery! Just another big pussycat trying to teach us humble newbies.
