Rep Power: 10  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! Thanks Ron, great photos. Yeah, I'm with Bill...those GT40's are sweet. Fran must have been stoked to have both yours & Mark's GT40 there to display.
How sinister is that black SL-C with black wheels & smoked headlight covers?

Rep Power: 1  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! Congratulations to Mr. Hall and the RCR company, the SL-C is quite simply a stunning creation. It will no doubt serve as a landmark automobile that forces everyone in the industry to ask "why should I buy a Porsche or a Ferrari when this car exists?" Wonderful work, you are to be commended for what you have just given to the sportscar community. |

Rep Power: 2  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! When Fran fired up the SL-C around mid-day all the women and children left pavilion.  It was quite alarming if you didn't know he was going to do it...I was one of the ones who didn't! I must confess I jumped! Awesome!
Ron took pictures before the crowds came in, so I didn't get as many pics without potential RCR customers in my pictures. But I will post few more of the boy's engine bays...once I shrink my pics to fit.
More soon,
Howard

Rep Power: 2  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! Here they are. I realize from looking at the fotos it is a lot about the thrill of putting something together "your way", solving problems to "get 'er done" and sharing the excitement of you efforts with others. The first engine is on Mark's car. The one he was working on until "Oh dark late (or early)" Saturday before loading up the clan and hauling everyone from Connecticut to Carlisle. They must really love you! They all seemed to be in good moods, they must have gone back to sleep in the car or you bribed them.
The second one is Ron's monster engine and the third is in Fran's yellow and black 40. I didn't get a shot of the SL-C motor I was to busy trying to grasp the complexity and beauty of the beast!  I didn't even think to take a picture. |

Rep Power: 2  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! Here's a couple more of the SL-C. This car is beautiful straight out of the mold, it hasn't been painted or puffed and it looks great! I think that's Fran with the cup in his hand working on a sale! |

Rep Power: 7  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! Fran needs to get back to the shop and get my car the F*&^ out of there. He will so swamped with questions and orders that he won't know which end is up.
I bet the pictures don't do diddly justice to that SLC in person. When I was there, he was still mocking up the diffuser. The back end of that thing is just mind blowing.
Unfortunately, I think silver would be incredible, and that means coughing up for the full body prep and paint
Thanks for the pictures!

Rep Power: 2  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! I'm coming to the conclusion that Mr Fran really knows where his towel is (Spot the Hitch Hikers Guide Ref)... the SL-C is schweeeeeeet, and the RCR 40's look amazing... can't wait until i'm ready to build one. |
