Ray told me a story about that milk float. He was exhibiting it at a show and a chap comes up looking pretty miffed. Asking what was up the man said that he had been put on desk duty as a policeman after one day he had been out on speed gun duty on a motorway bridge. Ray had gone past in the...

A trailer to me is a bit like Triggers broom (a UK reference based upon a great TV show Only Fools and Horses). My trailer has had many replacement parts to keep it going but it is still the same trailer! This year I need to change the whole wiring loom as rodents have eaten too much of the...

Suggest you rethink the use of Miata suspension as it probably won't take the forces of a car with a big engine and big brakes. And if you can make the chassis yourself then you should be able to make your own suspension arms for stronger uprights.

Lol Indeed!

First year we all went to the Isle of Man for The Three Hills Challenge (not Manx Classic, a separate event) it was a bit snowy. The first day before any competition a lot of us walked the course and Ray built snow men at each apex to help us all hit the spot. All melted by race day but fun...

I then asked it to create a poem about my wife ( igave the AI her name) and it replied..... Something went wrong Ooops! I then corrected my spelling mistake in my request and it then came back with a poem about an artist and writer which clearly is not my wife!

Anyone who knows me will know for sure I could not have come up with this! I asked ChatGTP to create a poem about the Ford GT40 and Le mans and this is what it came up with in just a few seconds. Scary but impressive at the same time. In the realm of racing, a legend was born, Where speed...

GTD used to make extended footwells as an option for the taller driver with a chassis modification. Gave 2 inches more leg room. Add in a Gurney Bubble, removable steering wheel and suitable suit on the floor I do not see why an AK40 (Southern GT) could not be made to work?

just mill some up from some lumps of ali?

BMTR in UK have Continental Renner Racing mentioned on their web site https://www.bmtrracing.com/motorsport/continental-renner-racing/

Seems I have also just passed 20 years too! Damn, getting old! But at least I have have had my car now 33 years, 31 one completed!

Don't beleive that to be a GTD chassis too many inconsistancies. If it were a GTD then there would be a chassis number stamped into the frame just under where that blue electrical tag is hanging in the picture showing the servo. The frame is quite different to a GTD frame both front and rear...

That is on the Isle of Wight. Its small so low probability of GT40s.com members on the island. I am probably but not yet certain to be on the island in mid to late July for a weekend visit. Whats the car?

That looks absolutely fabulous Glenn! What a day you must have had. Note you are a back seat driver..... :cool: Just wow!

Sorting some old papers connected to cars I found this old photo
