Another Walter Mitty...

Hi everyone, I am in Vancouver, Canada and don't presently own a GT40-even a model! I do have a couple of interesting cars but the GT 40 is in a different league. I saw my first GT40 in the mid sixties coming down Guildford highstreet in England (Cobble stones and all) wearing learner plates front and back! I thought that was the ultimate statement. Great forum!

Thank you, According to Fran from RCR there are none of his cars up here and I don't think I have ever seen a replica GT40 in the Vancouver area. Dave Cohen used to have a real one-I drove that briefly-but nothing else to look at.

Re: Another Walter Mitty...

Welcome David. You've come upon a good group.

Earlier this week I spoke with the young lad giving me a hand with the build of my RCR. Seems he'd just unwrapped the new engine and was brimming over with brm brm brmmm... all of which means there may well be a finished RCR 40 closer than you think (I'm an hour north of Seattle) before Christmas. Oh I hope so.

BTW, Neal's offer is a great one (have you seen his ride yet?) - don't make him ask you twice!

Best,

T.

Arlington? Now that's a nice town. The problem is getting through the border and back again--things ain't what they used ter be.
