Good to see your post, Robin. I have a feeling that we'll be seeing you pretty often due to your work's proximity to the RF factory, which is a good thing. We should be able to work together closely on your build and from the camera I saw you with the other day, I recon their might be a few...

Thanks for the "heads up" on our grammatical errors, Sid. Change has been made. All criticism is good for us- just makes a better product/system/operation. Now for Antony's photo......

"...holding at only 150mph" That sounds fast enough, but the car actually tapped out at 170mph on the back straight during Friday practice, with Biante cars on the track at the same time (mobile chicanes?) Quite a bit of kit!

Hey Troy. Yeah, i hear you on the Gixxer / go Kart thing.... It will happen. Just need some hours in the day that we concentrate on more personal projects.... you will be involved in that project! (GSX-R 1000 engine in a go kart... silly really...) Kind of similar to puting a 600hp...

Hey Bob. sorry about the late reply. I like the interest you guys have in the weekend social/track day events & the enthusiasm for the barby/cruise/information/social day operation. We (RF2) wish to manufacture these types of events - it works to keep all builders in the know as to...

Guys, from observation and involvement, one thing I have noticed is that the man hours required to build an RF car, or similar, is that the hours working on the car can be drastically reduced by comunication with like minded builders, and RF itself, to get tips and ideas on the build process...

Hi Bob. Thanks for your reply post. I'm fairly new at posting, but I'm finding it interesting and informative and I hope I can contribute to the group. Something I have found, sorry, WE (RF) have found, is that folks thinking about building a car like this can be a daunting task to get the...

Hi GT40 folks - I feel slightly guilty. I must admit to being a bit of a watcher and not so much of a participator on the forums, (which I was content to do in a lazy but interested manner - let other people run the forum and say what they wish. Cool to mine) and after reading more lately, I...

The invitation says 24th May, (Saturday) at their factory (1/29 Hanrahan Street, Thomastown) 11am to 3pm. I think more invitations were to go out from what Cassy (RF chick) said. Apparently a barby and car show day. Do you want me to forward the email onto you? Jon.

On Friday I received and invitation to the Roaring Forties factory open day. Did anyone else get such a thing? It was emailed to me with a jpeg attachment. As I live in Melbourne I figure I'll drop by, even though I'm not quite ready to build one right now. I rang them today and they said...

Steve, I will mention that Roaring Forties is now running and running with a totally new owner/management crew. Several people have bought new chassis and bodies and parts and components here in Oz and they seem happy with the new company. Maybe they could fill you in more detail. Cheers...

Hi all. As may be obvious, I've just joined up with you guys (& gals). I've been watching the thread on Roaring Forties (mainly) for the last few months and thought that I should come clean join in, rather than "stalking" from the background. Lots of information flowing around here, and some...
