Man, thats cool! I noticed the switch labels on the GT are the red tape type that you make yourself with a little "clicker" type tool. Is that how they where built?

Yep - Those were called "Dymo" labels - they're still around but I don't recommend them because once exposed to numerous heat cycles, they have a tendency to peel off... I've seen many pictures of the original cars and many had these types of labels in them..

Re: surely already seen, but always so cool

Great video

Anyone notice the rear view mirrors appear to be bolted on the side windows?

Van this give enough of a firm footing or will it be a vibration too far on the mirror?

Re: surely already seen, but always so cool

Regarding the rear view mirrors, I have done that and it works out very well. The mirrors need to be as close to ones eyes as possible in order to get the best use from them.

I'd say from the sound of her reaction while driving the GT40, she waived off men for at least two weeks.

Look like SPA mirrors - available from Pegasus Racing and others.. I've used them and they are very light and work well..

Re: surely already seen, but always so cool

Wow! That is high praise! The F1 is the benchmark to me. To even compare them distantly is impressive. If you have to waffle, that is some serious praise.

She is wrong though, there is something more evocative than the GT40...

...watching a woman squirm with delight over a GT40!
