Anyone who knows me will know for sure I could not have come up with this! I asked ChatGTP to create a poem about the Ford GT40 and Le mans and this is what it came up with in just a few seconds. Scary but impressive at the same time. In the realm of racing, a legend was born, Where speed...

Sorting some old papers connected to cars I found this old photo

Saw a part built 40 in a TV trailer the other night. Wonder what part it will play in the series? Probably minimal!

Does anyone have an old Alcon calliper on the shelf in their garage they could sell me? My GTD has the factory Alcon brake upgrade from 19 years ago but I have a damaged casting on one side so it is now scrap. The calliper is a 4 pot calliper with 1.5 and 1.625 inch pistons (38 and 41 mm...

Just had a great day out watching Glenn Mason run his Southern GT at Goodwood today. About 8 cars in his class including a few original Cobras, the Fraud Cortina (Chevy 5.7 powered I think) normal and low drag E Types, a Cunningham and a Glescoe GT40 which was lovely and which had recently done...

Wow! I was quite apprehensive on how we as a nation would present the opening ceremony but was blown away by the show. Some fantastic moments but my highlights were the Queen "parachuting" in with James Bond and then Mr Bean in Chariots of Fire. The Cauldron was pretty cool too. If you...

My uncle has a Miller Syncrowave 180 SD tig welder he is prepared to give me. Top bloke! I just got to ship it to the UK which will be expensive but could well be cheaper than buying one here. My research says Miller is a very good brand for welding gear. The question is will a 220v 60 htz...

If one lived in Vancouver what road courses are within a sensible range? No point moving if you can't go racing!!!!!

I have a set of unused Roy Smart made GTD engine mounts that allow you to lower the engine by 40mm. Powder coated black. They would replace the engine mount sub frame that bolts into the chassis under the sump. Looking for £45 delivered within the UK or £35 plus postage at cost worldwide.

When it is time to start the 2012 F1 thread please let it be started in this forum. Whilst I have reset my Paddock viewing on new posts to ON again many won't so this worthwhile thread will be missed by many when it is a good thread and should be followed. It will fit nicely into the Race...

I have been asked by the organisers of this years Britcar 24 Hours at Silverstone to see if there are a couple of you who wish to display your GT40/replicas over the weekend in return for free ticket access. In reality they are interested in supercars in general so if you had something nice...

I have taken the decision to get rid of all my Motorsport magazines. This is not a general collection of motorsport magazines but just a collection of the one called Motorsport ie the one with the green cover! Lots of historic write ups and interesting stuff to ponder on. I can see one dated...

The perfect driving machine maybe but idiot owner perhaps?

I hope not to have a repeat of the last 24 hours! It was my daughters eight birthday party and we allowed her to have 10 friends over for a camp over party. That alone is stressful enough trust me! Combine that with the Eurovision Song Contest and torrential rain and I was grateful to be...

I am selling a Carbon/GRP seat believed to be made by Reverie and possibly for a Caterham type vehicle. It is not for big people. I have a 42 inch chest and it is a little tight there. Fine everywhere else for me! It weighs just 3kg. It is in good condition and is only lightly marked...

Spa 2009, 29th and 30th June with Gold Track If you follow this forum you may already have seen my thread on the chassis surgery I put my GTD through earlier this year. The car had been sent down to Southern GT to have the rear 3 ft chopped off and a Southern GT rear end welded on. The...

On my epic journey to Le Mans recently I managed to get this rather excellent photo. It is crying out for a caption competition.

Southern GT heads to Le Mans This year I was lucky to be asked to crew for Glenn Mason in his Southern GT GT40 replica on his trip to Le Mans to take part in the Grande Parade Des Pilotes on the Friday before the big race on the Saturday and Sunday. It turned out to be a fantastic trip...
