Markus: Wow! What a wealth of information; many thanks. The car is being prepared by Olthoff in NC, but I plan on leaving the car in South Carolina for the next couple of years. I'll begin researching this in earnest with the leads you provided me. Was yours an SPF, and if so was the...

Does anyone have experience in registering a GT40 in South Carolina? My Superformance MK I will be ready soon, and I've heard conflicting stories; for example, I was told that SC was one of the few states that allowed short VIN numbers. Obviously that would be neat to have GT40P/2074 as...

Pete: Now we both know that I never called you a redneck; oddly enough, you 'labeled' yourself that in your first post, so your sense of insult is somewhat bewildering. Granted, I did say that you were arrogant, such as when you pronounce those in disagreement with you as undoubtedly being...

You compound the arrogance with your assumptions about those that disagree with your position. Kim

Let's see here: An innocent Iraqi family doesn't slow down fast enough for a road block and is fired upon by soldiers. The family is seriously wounded and have to receive hospital care in the country whose soldiers shot them. Injured and displaced from their homeland, having lost everything...

Another Kim Petersen, eh? That wouldn't be me; I would never let you drive my Testarossa! Seriously, though, it definitely wasn't me. At the time I had a modest but lovely 308 GTSi that took good care of me for almost four years as my only car! And all of the planes were experimental and...

Jeff: Thanks for the passing on your experience. I'm going to raise your points with Dennis Olthoff (who's preparing the car). I'm hoping that we'll have a chance to bring the car to VIR soon so as to sort out handling issues, and your suggestions would be a good place to start. Thanks! Kim

Mike: I was flying ultralights out of Torrence – dodging the Goodyear blimp, scared to death that I might puncture it with my tiny plane – but that's about it. I've spent more time jumping from planes than flying them. And you? Kim

Mike: As a matter of fact, yes. I lived in Malibu for four years back in the mid-90's and was active with FCA and PCA. Had a chance to drive at Laguna Seca - fabulous course! Kim

Well, I'm within a month of receiving my SPF Mk I from Olthoff Racing, after waiting almost a year for a transmission. Dennis & Co. have been great, and are as much hostage to the ZF shortage as anyone else. (Hopefully a reliable source will come from Quaife and their ZFQ, but that remains to...

Another item that Avon may wish to consider on future iterations of their tire is to use the large AVON hollow type on the sidewall - duplicating the look of their pure racing tires. This would also allow owners to use an 'AVON' racing stencil to highlight the name with white spray paint, as...

I wonder if the new ZFQ by Quaife is going to be calibrated to the SPF GT40 right out of the box? This is the tranny that many of us are waiting for in the hopes of completing cars that are otherwise done.

Just to close this out, I've written many emails over the past several weeks (to this and other of their email addresses), including last week. No response. Obviously the owners of Anglo American Racing have no intent to respond to my communications, let alone make good on my purchase. It's...

Gary: Thanks for scrounging the information for me – a very kind gesture. And that is the number I've been trying, along with a couple of others I found on WHOIS. I've reconciled myself to having lost the money and will now attempt to receive a refund through AmEx. That's not such a...

Gary: They're in Phoenix, and it's my understanding from another website that the store appears shuttered. I don't have the address and have tried again to call them but their numbers appear to have been disconnected. The website has been down for a while, as well. It's all very...

I recently did business with a firm called Anglo American Racing in Arizona. They came highly recommended, and doing business with Martin, the proprietor was pure delight -- a great guy. I ordered several items, and received most of them except for the shoes, about $200. When I called to...

James: Those look great! Do you have a source for picking up a set? Thanks, Kim

Beautiful! Well done, Steve. By the way, I'm also interested in those tires (sizes and type). Are they Avons? Kim

Well, with the encouragement of several members of this board, I attempted to convey the thoughts and concerns expressed by a number of GT40 SPF owners regarding the GT40 Registry to Lance Stander, owner of Superformance. The letter I sent is copied below: Dear Mr. Stander: I’m writing on...

Chris: As one of those waiting for your Quaife unit so that I can retrieve my car from Olthoffs, can you update us on the delivery dates you listed above? According to your earlier expectation, we should be seeing them between July 17 and August 17, right? Thanks! Kim
