I can recall that many years ago when I was running Pirelli P7,s the Pirelli reps would slash any tyres found unused after 12 months to the day of manufacture. I had this confirmed today. My dealer for high performance tyres said they must be "exercised" and he used the example that if I did a...

It appears that some guys building 40's are buying high performance tyres close to the start of their builds and not as one of the last things to buy. It may be wise to consult with a tyre expert before purchase as these tires normally have a short shelf life and can be very dangerous when they...

Oh dear, I forgot the full roll cage that I did not even notice on my first look. It is so well intergrated. Even the CD stacker is mounted behind the passenger seat with the center of the back hinging forward for access. Pete, the spoiler IMO would be a bit low for the street. It has been...

I saw this car last week and it is just incredible. Dry sump, sway bar adjust, brake bias adjust etc. The custom fittings to make this all happen are works of art. The sway bars alone are just superb.Huge congratulations to the team at RF. BUGGER I want one. Regards

Pete, I think its time you stopped going out at night. Regards

I can fully understand Robert's reluctance to give out information on which he has incurred cost in his R and D. His chassis was designed by a race engineer and is in no way similar to a GTD. He is an ongoing manufacturer and that is very different to a group of owners(mostly I assume GTD)...

ER. UM. Growing marijuana using hydroponics? Regards

The only thing better than cubic inches is cubic feet. Regards

Frank, I was hoping no one was going to ask for a photo as my skills at this stage are a problem,but if you look on the RF website you can see a photo of them in the photo gallery section.(red car). Regards

Wanting my seats to look as close to the originals as possible I had a look at as many photos as I could find and asked Robert to build me seats with 10 rows of 6 eyelets both on seat and back. This makes it 120 per seat. Was not cheap but far closer to the original look than others that seem to...

Yes Bill This is a fantastic result. My daughter on her way to work was rung up on her mobile as to where she was and had to tell them she was stuck in Greek celebrations.As you would know Melbourne has the largest Greek population after Athens. On a similar note I read on a news website that...

Tennis....Tennis..... You guys have missed the point. Swearing is a real man's sport whereas tennis is just a game. Regards

Well,what goes around comes around and the Poms were sent packing last night with a 51/15 wipeout,in the first return match since the World Cup. It was sort of like taking a bucket of snowballs to a gunfight. Regards

Andre. Welcome back. It's been nearly three weeks and talking such good common sense. Let the replicas race!!! Regards

Rolf. Looks great. It appears almost identical to my next door neighbors car's paint job. Go to www.motorsnippets.com and click on events,then speed events and look at Geelong Speed Trials and Macedon Ranges Tour to see what she will look like finished. Regards

I can understand both sides on this one. Meetings like the Goodwood Revival meeting can demand "original" cars but at a lot of historic meetings here in Oz the selection of cars in most cases is pathetic. Some of them are like Captain Cook's axe (10 new handles and 4 new heads ) but that old...

Hi Mark. The main things than I noticed (and I'm no mechanic) was the GTD was very narrow in the footwell area and we are trying to get my mate fitted in as he ain't small by cutting and rewelding the pedals and looking at a very thin seat. He has plenty of home grown padding so this should...

A mate of mine bought two GTDs the other day at a very good price and sold one to a friend. One was a "factory lightweight". Spent last Thursday comparing the RF and the GTDs along side each other. The GTDs are in need of some TLC but will come up very well. I was surprised by the amount of...

Ralph Sarich's original orbital engine if I recall never worked but in trying to make it work they developed fuel injection systems for two strokes. Some of which are used today by large manufacturers of outboards,and motor bikes. I have driven a couple of cars with the two stroke motor(in line...

Me too Pete. And we have to watch it into the wee hours of the morning. Regards
