Rep Power: 11 | I think as close as we get are either rejects from the flawed UK initial application process or engineers on the EU type approval from Ford UK | |

Rep Power: 9 | I didn't get Tad's question at first, and thought there was a photo of a particular car missing or something. I think that what he means to ask is -
Are there any GT40s.com forum members in the UK who own a new Ford GT?
Dave

...and light appeared! Well, Tungsten anyway. In that case, no. However, should someone offer as an incentive to move to the UK, ownership of a Ford GT, particularly a tungsten with white stripes version, I would happily do so. Any offers? Anyone? Anyone?
Cheers
Jack

It was on a Murcielago and then a Vanquish - neither of which I drove enough and recently sold. A friend has V8 WMD and we're going to swap at some stage as V12 is not really right for the GT...
WMD was amusing at the time - still faintly so now... | |

Great car of course and excellent photos.
I might be a bit slow, but I don't get WMD? Is it a Brit thing? | |

When I first had this number, a few years ago, 'WMD' was often in the news as the shortened way of saying 'weapon(s) of mass destruction'. As I was taking a rather quick car with a V12 engine through France at this time, it seemed appropriate! I should have bought V8 at the same time - but didn't - so the GT has the wrong plate on it really. | |

Of course you know the red ones are the fastest, something to do with the engine assembly guys giving extra power to the lumps slated to go in red cars. Some guys are dyno-ing them at 598 HP at the rear wheels.  | |

Would your friend be willing to sell it?

It seems the tires (tyres for those across the pond) on the rear of your red GT are much smaller than those on my GT, what size are they? Wayne | |
