Bud I am fairly sure the orange on that car is a VW Micro bus colour, not sure of the reference though.

Hi Dick, I shall certainly miss your sales banter! As a club memeber, thanks for your enthusiasm. Why did you resign?

The 3 cars in the Top Gear video are - in order of appearance - my old car (now owned by Richard hagley), Ian O'reillys' car and Brian Magees' car. We spent the day at the Top Gear studios as guests and then our cars were used for the programme. I was a bit surprised at Clarksons lack of...

Update for this event. I have arranged to extend the deadline for our club entries to 10th January as some members missed the original deadline, so get those entries in ASAP, or wait another 2 years! So far I have received completed entry forms for 60 members and 25 cars.

I agree David, what a waste of resources, it is about time the Police made an attempt to curb the crime which really matters to the public, murder, rape, mugging, burglary. What about the officer caught travelling at 150 mph recently. he was just "road testing/familiarizing himself with the car"...

Hi Fred, members of the GTD40's club are include as invited guests, just put the membership no. on your entry form, (copy mailed to you) and return asap. I think we should continue this thread in the GT40 ENTHUSIASTS area of the forum and not in 'Tech-Engines'

OOPS! should be THURSDAY night-thanks Ian

Fred, did you get an entry form with the last magazine? if you are a member you should've received it.

Hi to all our members, just a reminder to send me your entries ASAP. This event is the event of the year, the best Historic racing-for 24 hours, the chance to drive the full Le Mans circuit with 30+ other 40's, restaurant meal on friday and BBQ on saturday, club entry tickets for circuit include...

Richard, I'm sure you can find accommodation on the web, This is THE event to go to-don't miss out, as Ian says there are plenty of members attending so check out their ferry times, book up and tag along. Oh by the way Guys if any of you break down and it can't be fixed with my penknife-your on...

Re: photo\'s GT40P 1048 Danny, Should be 14 ribs, 3 different designs, constructed from 56 pressings.

Chris, Our dinner is in the evening so we could do both, nothing like a large portion!

I,m with you Ian, both are cracking events but the Classic's the ultimate, anyway you can't get on the hillclimb at Goodwood but we'll be on the circuit at Le Mans.

The wheels were wearing through the front fenders on the oval circuits so the front clip was changed to accomodate more clearance

Thanks for organising a great evening Rob, can't wait for the next one!

Here is a picture of some of the flat panels after machining. I have left cut Zintec steel sheet outside for over a year and the ingress of corrosion on the edges is negligable. The material can be dipped after machining to protect against corrosion until the final surface (colour) is applied...

Charley, The steel you are talking about from which Goran and I made the first monocoque tub is zintec. I purchased it in the U.K and machined the panel sets here at my premises on one of my CNC machines. The panels were then shipped to sweden where we assembled the 'Prototype'I will post...

I produced the panel sets for the 1st two chassis from original drawings and measurements from original cars. I am building 2 cars here in the U.K. for my own use and will continue to work with Goran to help with his project. Enquiries in the U.K. can be directed to me via this web site.

Well done fran, make sure you take time to eat and sleep though!

Hi Doc, the information is slightly incorrect, yes I am involved in producing a batch of accurate monocoques, the price is not correct nor has it been set yet. When the product is ready it will be launched, your information is premature.
