Anyone see the GT-40 in the latest \"XXX: State of the Union\" Just a quick glimpse in "Rides" while they're scoping out the new Shelby Cobra prototype... Is it me or do you guys think that Hollywood considers the GT-40 the "car du jour" these days...?

See you there, Mark... Rick

Some development pics...

Unveiled at the 2005 Geneva Show, a redesigned Lancia Stratos. www.fenomenon.com for futher details... Brought a smile to my face Rick

Absolutely speak up! Someone spotted a loose alternator bracket bolt on my showcar once, I thanked him profusely afterwards. Goes without saying to check out the car beforehand, but you know the old saying that two heads are better than one.. Rick

Hey, that was pretty cool...

For background technical info, see the related SAE papers on the development history of the GT40, you might be able to access them through the inter-librarial loan program... Good luck! Rick

Mark, it was a barn out in Almonte. I got lost trying to find the place (wrong directions from my buddy) and ended up way out in the bush somewhere at night... kinda creepy if you know what I mean. I was half-expecting somebody's idea of a GT40 based on a Camaro covered with fiberglass so you...

Hey everybody: Thanks for the interest. As Mark and Chris know, we're all waiting up here for the snow to disappear (probably in about 4 weeks there about...) The second that occurs, I'm back in the garage to continue working on the molds, I'll post updates as I progress as I do want to...

Heard someone in Ottawa: (mutter) Had to work on the weekend... gee, I wonder how the Toronto show was...? Dammit!!! Angelo, you look very happy sitting in that GT Next time, guys! Rick the Frustrated

Thanks for the post, Yuji. I hope that the Nissan R381 can make an appearance... Rick

Congrats, Chris. If I can make it down to Toronto to see Jim et al, hopefully I might be able to meet up with you, otherwise I'm waiting for the snow to clear to start fabrication... Regards, Rick

Hopefully one of these days, I'll be able to meet up with my fellow Canadians. My eventual goal is to drive my GT-40 from Ottawa all the way to Vancouver Island, visit for a bit before heading south to San Diego and then back to Ontario via Route 66.. See you all at the Toronto show!!! Rick

Gents, with this much discussion, perhaps we should start up a Canadian chapter of GT-40 owners...? Just a thought

And as Chris and Mark have pointed out in the a/n, your other recourse is scratch-built (my route) but be prepared for a helluva lot of work!!!! Funny how people can produce kitcars here in Canada and sell them to the States but not vice versa, isn't that a trade infringement of NAFTA...? And...

Rob, for further info regarding import into Canada, go to this site: www.riv.ca That's the Registar of Imported Vehicles and spells out what exactly can come into Canada. You will note the passage dealing with kitcars...

That's what I thought but shouldn't there be more of a background check into one's claim. Anyway, don't want to bander this anymore as I suspect it's already been discussed ad nauseum... Just as an aside, Rob, when you complete the Lola GT, are you going for FIA historical replica status...?

Wow, is it that easy to get FIA papers these days...? Historical replica is one thing but...

Pretty cool, Mark. There's a guy in the UK who supposedly was offering sport prototype CAD drawings for 50 pounds sterling (ADR Engineering 1000), unfortunately, it seems he never answers your e-mail... too bad, though, a simple yes or no if the plans were still available (which is listed on the...

Well fortunately and/or unfortunately, you NEVER see GT-40s north of the 49th parallel except for that one in Calgary and Ian's in Toronto... For that matter, Cobras are pretty rare, too. NO cracks about fitting snowplows, please. Rick
