My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming...

Darrell, she looks stunning ! That simple pic of the rear of the car, sporting a rego plate, tells a huge story to those that know ! How are your facial muscles going ? It might take weeks of therapy to relieve the pain caused by that grin !!! "On Ya" Mate ! Peter D.

Dean, there may be some people who could be classified as "Forum Police" - those who just need to stick their noses into a problem just to see their names in print & cause a stir, or competitors who can't resist the temptation to put the boot in. But there is another type of Forum member who...

Iain, heat under the clip is an issue with CAT's, but not much of a problem without them - do not ask how I know !! Kind Regards, Peter D.

A question along similar lines, if I may : For rego, I had to have the (single) breather connected to a carbon cannister (from a V8 Commodore), and have a purge valve to clean out the cannister occasionally (by connecting the purge outlet on the cannister to inlet manifold vacuum)...

Larry, one of the things I liked about the DRB was that even the most basic kit comes with the spider attached to the chassis, the doors hung & operational, & both clips fitted. That is not to say you won't be doing some glass work - you will be, but how much depends on how fanatical you are...

Darrell, sorry but I couln't find that pic you sent. Iain, here's a scrappy old pic of a standard aly DRB louvre panel - available as a spare part from DRB. Mine is ceramic coated & has stood up to nearly 10,000km without any sign of being affected by the heat. It would be interesting to...

For what its worth, I have had some experience with Albins. About 3 years ago, I sent my G50 down to Albins for a new higher ratio 5th gear set to be fitted. Whilst they had the box apart, they were to check everything & replace the synchros. I got the box back about 3 weeks later...

Guess which garage the GT40 is parked in ! Bloody expensive, but lots more fun than a a 32cc Homelite leafblower !! MERRY CHRISTMAS Kind Regards, Peter D.

Pete - thanks for the heads-up PM on these recent posts. Mick & Pete - this looks like a similar setup to the one I have in between each of the TB pairs on each side - see 1st pic. (The only DC&O standard moving parts I have are the spindles & butterflies). I am pretty sure that I have never...

Congrats Jim - just getting an offspring thru a basic uni degree is a much more demanding project that just building a GT40 ! Getting honours in Law is something else again - remind me never to get into a legal argument with you !! Kind Regards, Peter D.

Hi Chris, We had to cut down the dizzy & go with coil-packs because the fronts of the fuel rails ended up in the middle of the dizzy cap ! The rails were run up the middle of the stacks (instead of outside as per standard) on advice from a mate who is an emissions expert. His opinion was...

THE LAWYER & HIS PORSCHE A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Porsche Carrera GT in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he was getting out, a truck came along too close to the car and completely tore off the driver's door. Fortunately, a policeman was...

Brian, do NOT let the money sit in an account for a year - if you do, the only interest will be from an "interested party" - eg. a wife, partner, ex-wife, kids who "need" to buy a house, etc..... As soon as the cheques clear, push Fran's button !!! Carpe Diem ! Kind Regards, Peter D.

Hi Chris, Congratulations !! The car looks superb & I love the colour (no bias here !!). Did you end up using that old stock Mustang induction setup for rego ? Any plans to "work" the motor now that you have got rego ? Now comes the hard part - what to do with your spare time - finish off...

Have you thought about ceramic coating the panel - it ends up somewhere between polished & satin, will never need polishing & will withstand the heat for ever.
