    GoPro in a GT40

    It's been a while since this thread was created. I'm still struggling to find the best method for locating an external mic on my car with my GoPro Hero7. If anyone has found the ideal solution for locating the external mic and adjusting the GoPro audio settings, please let me know.

    So... where did the virus come from?

    Howard, you are correct about China. I've done business there for many years. Their government and big business (e.g., telecom) are essentially one in the same. The Chinese government is not bound by the same restrictions as the U.S. Personal privacy, limits on data mining, enforcement of...

    Most Common Mistakes - New GT40 Owner

    Eric: The areas you described for the paint protection film are correct. The one area that I would add is the small lip on the rear clamshell that curves up and faces the rear tire. That area gets a lot of rocks, so putting film on that will keep the paint in tact. The rear view camera I...

    Most Common Mistakes - New GT40 Owner

    I could generate a very long list after owning my MK1 for seven years, but here is my top ten: - Install paint protection film on key areas of the car. Ceramic coat the paint protection film and all of your paint. - Install crush sleeves to keep your wheel bearings in place. Otherwise you'll...

    Grounded in self isolation

    Tomorrow will be a beautiful day in South Carolina. We don't have a lock down law in place here, so I'm going to take my car out for a long drive to get away from the 24/7 news about the virus. But I'll have no contact with anything other than my car. Please be safe everyone. We'll get...

    Sean's RCR 40

    As a Superformance owner, I'm really impressed with the skills of Sean and others who build RCR and other cars. This looks like a great build. I wish I had the skills you have, Sean!

    Is this CAV GT40 a good buy?

    I hear you, Rick. I'm just about to hit 17,000 miles with my car and it performs much better because I drive it as much as I can. I'm also a huge fan of paint protection film and ceramic coating. My car looks like it was imported into the U.S. last week. If you take care of these cars...

    Is this CAV GT40 a good buy?

    The ad on their website says the car's current (actual) mileage is 1,143. Someone only drove the car 343 miles since Ron sold it 8 years ago?

    Check your ZF

    Paul Whitlock installed an external slave cylinder set-up on my ZF last year. Works great and is much easier to service. If anyone wants information on this they can reach out to Paul at [email protected]

    Agreed upon value for SPF MK1 Cars

    I've switched insurance and wanted to pass along information to anyone who may be in the market here in the U.S. for a new insurance carrier. I've signed with American Modern Insurance. They are well regarded and have various affiliations including the National Corvette Museum...

    Mecum

    Will be interesting to see if it sells. I think an auction like Mecum is a bit of a risk for selling these cars since the universe of people who really understand and appreciate them is fairly small. Will all depend on who is in the room and on the phone at the time.

    Agreed upon value for SPF MK1 Cars

    My current insurance company, Infinity Insurance, is existing the classic car business. As I'm looking at alternatives, I also want to increase my agreed upon value. My current policy is at $136,000, and I'm thinking it should be closer to $175,000 at this point. The companies I'm considering...
