Hi Chris,

I saw you guys at the Spa 6 hours (I was racing a Porsche 911 there) and noticed Klaus Ludwig got a new foam seat made. What did he think of the car, having raced so many different cars since the late sixties (?!?)

Racing the much slower 911 it was great watching the GT40's duck underneath through corners like Stavelot and Blanchimont while steering the Porsche on the throttle. When I close my eyes I can still see that happening inches in front of me. Thanks for taking these cars out at events like this. Spa 6 hours to me resembles what it must have been like back in the day, the whole atmosphere. We will be racing there again this year, hope to see you there.

John

The ultimate man-cave time capsule, words fail me other than and big thank you.

If I had a recreational room like that (which I love by the way), I would call it
"The Lemans Lounge"...

Fabulous!

Wherever did you source the giant gells that were printed like that? They must have cost a small fortune!

a man cave, very nice.

Chris, like others, words fail me. But I also have one just like that.....the T-shirt I mean!

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

With a choice of an Oscar or that car, I'd have the car, no question. You can't drive an Oscar.
