Frank, it is well named as a "puke tank" ! When I had a leak in the system & the puke / overflow / reservoir / recovery / fill tank got sucked dry & air was pulled into the system, I very nearly puked !! Kind Regards, Peter D.

Bernie, I have the standard recommended setup as per DRB - Sanden compressor & Sanden evaporator (with built-in heater core & co-axial fan). I am fairly sure that this is the same setup recommended/fitted to the old RF's. It all seems to work ok, but could do with a stronger fan. DRB or RF...

I think there might be a bit of confusion creeping in here about the definitions of which tank is which. Here in Oz, most people refer to the "HP tank / tube" as the "header tank/tube". This is the one that is in the main pressurised system & has the normal radiator pressure cap fitted. The...

Pat, a friend of mine who has a DRB (Windsor) did some investigation on the cooling system expansion issue. He found that the whole system held about 18 litres, and that cold to hot expansion was about 1.8 litres, & solved the capacity problems by fabricating a larger 3 litre (about 3 US...

Well done Craig !! Fancy having to spend all your working hours playing around with the RCR stable - life is going to get real tough !!;) All the best with the new venture. Kind Regards, Peter D.

Mon Dieu M. Morton !!! You 'ave taken zee winds from my sails - c'est un tour de force !! My cullinary skills run to simply avoiding significant amounts of charcoal on the steaks !! I will pass on your recipe to the head chef, but there is no way that I will tell her it came from a GT40...

Well done Bill. That's some fairly healthy horsepower, & should be quite enough for you to scare yourself with !! Now its time to go & have some fun ! Kind Regards, Peter D.

Mark, your car is progressing at an astonishing rate, & is looking so good !! I love your exhaust setup, specially the megaphones - its a great pity that we can't get away with something like that over here in Oz. PS : Don't be too hard on your son about a scratch or two - he might get upset...

Doctor in Dublin wanted to get off work and go fishing, so he approached his assistant. 'Murphy, I am going hunting tomorrow and I don't want to close the clinic. So I want you to take care of the clinic and take care of all me patients'. 'Yes, sir!' answers Murphy. The doctor goes...

A Kiwi and an Aussie were sitting around talking one afternoon over a cold beer. After a while the Aussie says to the Kiwi, "If I was to sneak over to your house and shag your wife while you were off fishing, and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us related?" "The Kiwi...

After 20 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one evening, when the misses felt her husband begin to fondle her in ways he hadn't in quite some time. It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck, and then began moving down past the small of her back. He then caressed her...

Proudly showing off his newly-leased downtown apartment to a couple of friends late one night, a drunk Samoan led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong hanging on the wall. 'What's that big brass gong for ?' one of the friend's asked. 'Issss nod a gong. Issss a talking Maori...

Hi Bill - the car is looking fabulous, & sounds awesome in the video !! How do things stand with the rego ? (Did you get it passed before the engine drama ?). If it makes you feel any better, you are not Robinson Crusoe on that one - shortly after rego, mine needed a total rebuild after a...

Exquisite - what a car & what a day !!! Its almost a shame to put even a GT40 body on that ! Huge congrats ! Peter D.

Thanks Mike. Kind Regards, Peter D.

Good question Pete !! I have been looking for the tea-strainer jobs for ages - no success in finding the right size as yet. Note to self - do not go looking for these with my wife any more. (results so far have been no tea-strainers, but a collection of hugely expensive "must-have" pots &...

I reckon that a simple passive immobilser is arguably the best bet in terms of a preventative action against joyriders. Unlike the normal targets like WRX's, the wiring is probably quite different on each GT40 - so with a bunch of all black wires going from inside the wiring loom to the...
