Rod you are mistaken. The Paddock is not a politics forum. It is a place for all things other than car stuff. Things like jokes, interesting pictures, interesting travels etc. It has become a home for disgruntled, politically disappointed jerks who fill the Paddock with their drivel and boring...

Grady, I believe that the EFF group has pressured the government to amend their constitution to allow taking of land without compensation. The concept now has to go for a review and decision by a constitutional review board as to what should happen. Maybe one of our SA members could fill us in...

Just and after thought as you are talking about improvements you are working on. The best change by far was replacing my osrv mirrors with electric/ heated ones from a Chrysler Cross Fire. Lots of problems finding them at a reasonable price and finding the Plug part of the wiring loom was...

Ken. glad I could help with Chassis number. The 1202 may or may not have been included in the chassis number as this was a 1990 chassis. Be sure and read the history of CAV written by Andre. It is a good history of the GTD/CAV relationship and covers some of the goings on with Roger and covers...

David I am sorry to see you leave. I truly believe the forum is a great place to keep track of our GT40 craze. After enjoying my GTD 40 for 25 years and many track miles as well as long road trips, I sold it on to a new owner who is now enjoying it. I still frequent the forum as I am still...

All of you GTD 40 followers who remember the good old days with the Poole/ Manchester lads will remember Graham as a helpful, friendly and funny guy who was Rays right hand. Unfortunately he has lost his battle with cancer. He was at home with his wife Mary and his step daughter last night when...

The opening for the exhaust pipes and the two panels with the oval cutouts are not GTD style. Based on those I would say that it is not a GTD. More better quality photos might help in making an ID.

Ken, try Midwest Bayless Italian auto parts @ 800 241 1446. They list a complete unit for $210.00 or just the base with light sockets @ $130.00

The wheels you have really fit the wheel wells perfectly. Don't loose that when you change to another wheel. I have always liked the hour glass style original to the GT40 and the Cobra variant as a second choice. The problem with these styles is the stretched look they get when you go to the...

Extending the tunnel to the front of the footbox also helps to keep the passengers feet out of the drivers way !!

There are a lot of cars running around in everyday use without limited slip. However it will be nice to have when the time comes for you to sell the car on to a new owner.

Jim, I believe that GTD fuel tanks have always been ali with explosafe fill.

Comp Cams Tech in Memphis says iron melonite - melonized gear.

You all can argue the reasons the founding fathers wanted a system such as the electoral college but the attached map of the vote by congressional district might help some understand. Blue = democrat, Red = republican. Enjoy.

The more the government tries to buy votes the more important our system becomes.

It seems that a great many people have forgotten that we are a republic that is governed by laws. Just because you don't like the rules or the outcome of certain governing acts doesn't mean you can just ignore them without consequence. It is time we stop letting the law breakers have their way...

I am so sorry to hear of Charlie passing. He was truly a great car guy who enjoyed his toys and passed his enthusiasm on to his boys. Charlie purchased his white with blue stripes GTD40 about the same time that I finished mine. I spent some time with Val, who built and did some modifications to...

Not certain of this , but for what it is worth - I believe Derek Bell was driving a much modified GTD Lola T70 and that is were the ideas for the suspension mods came from. I think he also inspired the Renault Tranny mods.

Try contacting Mark Sibley in the UK.(ex MDA 40 guy). Possible contacts - old info - thru the forum < http://www.gt40s.com/forum/members/mark-sibley.html> or this old phone number - 44 0774 9531648 . Good luck.

GTD used image as the factory wheels. I have several friends who used them an had no problems. I believe you will find less selection of tires for the 15" rims.
