Re: No Please!

Not quite right--it needs a Gulf livery paint job, doesn't it?

Howard
The number plate on the car at the rear of the picture looks to be from the UK - Does that mean we've been invaded?

Re: No Please!

Look on the bright side.
1. It could be driven on a motorcycle licence.
2. Somebody loves it.
3. You don't own it.
4. It's using up light blue paint which will hopefully disappear from the
market so no more gt40s get painted in that gopping blue and orange
scheme.
5. it might be a new prototype invalid sports car/motorcycle.
6. If using these gets recognized as an olympic sport, it would be better
than synchronized drowning and funny walking.
7. It would fit in the back of your 4x4 SUV with blacked out windows
(which you would need to stop other car drivers having accidents
by laughing so much)
8. If it was properly painted - say in a really good quality black paint job
and some decent wheels, it may , just may look a bit better.
But not by much.......

Re: No Please!

French sounds right; sort of a 2CV-GT40. What about a rear wing to spice up the aerodynamics?

Cool Re: No Please!

Is it Submersible?

Maybe it is the new Bond vehicle replacement now that Aston Martin is being sold.!

Re: No Please!

It would go quite well with a Hyabusa strapped in !! In a straight line at least....

Re: No Please!

David,

Some of us have to have our 40s, and others, in that "gopping blue and orange", otherwise Gulf would not support us.

And I thought that had gone through to the keeper.

Good one David.
