Hi Mark, will be in Ottawa later this week for the Sommet... are you around? PS what the f*** is up with Ian? Major issues getting my car, and not fixed. Simon

Wow, that's gutsy. Put an extra core in the rad of the EType. Mine's a 66 FHC and it runs a lot cooler now. I'm thinking of trailering my CAV from Canada down to Georgia, then driving in the rest of the way. Is there a group of ppl taking their cars? Convoy, anyone? Bibendum400 Canada

Can you tell what you mean by "some years ago", because my CAVGT has the same number, but it is a pre-mono car. Also having the plaque "Assembled by Jean Fourie". That plaque usually designated a non-AutoFutura build, around 2000-2001. Remember the CAV GT when built by Jean and John as a team...

Hear hear. If you want a mature, thoughtful, engineered and generally well-thought out, practical solution to a GT40 problem, call Ian, above. I bought a CAV -GTD built in late 2001-2002 through New York importers, ultimately out of Michigan. Ian found several areas needing, ahem...

Hi, just back to a previous point, I notice that the event schedule and the pdf's still list only the Mustang parade lap. I understood from Susan at RA that there would be a "tour of the circuit" which was different from paying for a "touring at lunch" lap. I also was told that the breakfast...

Thank you Jack, and what a product! I had in mind just a professional card-type name tag, I had no idea this is what you had in mind. Many thanks. Simon CANADA

Hi, similarly I discovered this thread today, coincidentally after getting news that a GTD40 sold at Worldwide Auctioneers (USA) in their June 19/20 auction entitled Old Car Heaven. It sold for US $ 40,700. My interest is that I have a 2002 GTD - CAV hybrid, built by the firm in South Africa...

Hi Jack, and sorry for confusing you. London is where I live. I didn't know if you were putting that on the badges. I was confused when I read that either or both of the blog code name / real name was requested. Real name: Simon McBride Blog moniker: Bibendum400 Very nice gesture to make...

Response to Bill Musarra. Thanks Bill for above advice. Spoke to Susan today,very helpful. It seems I could keep Superticket I bought 6 weeks ago, and simply added on $60 to include the concours on Saturday night (street legal cars), the preferred parking at the track, a Saturday am guided tour...

Hi, I've asked Bill privately, but maybe I'll post in case others fall in the same bag.... I bought my SuperTicket almost two months ago, before knowing any of these great add-ons were available. If anyone else has done something similar, can anyone advise if Susan, or someone else is the best...

Hi, just a comment, but, do you think the organizers know just HOW many cars (replicas) are coming? Reading the blogs, it seems there's more than twenty, likely far more. Steve, can you share what you told her, and what you signed up for? And how do I request one of the name tags that some...

Hi, I'm coming across Michigan, taking the Lake Express ferry arriving Milwaukee around noon on the Thursday. I'd be glad of any identifying info so I can keep half an eye peeled for others on their way. My CAV is silver-titanium (metallic tan), Halibrands, and major mother tyres overstuffing...

Hi and here's 2cents from a CAV owner. Bought mine 2007 but, but, it's the old CAV, ie. the GTD, tube frame, built in South Africa, excellent quality, good materials and finished well. In the past six months I've seen two or three of THAT kind of car with an asking of $60,000 to $70,000 US...

Hi Ian, when can I bring the car down? I could trailer it this weekend. No answer at your phone, and no one at the shop when I sailed by on Saturday last. Simon

Simon, London, Canada. Attending. CAV GT40. On this site as Bibendum400. Thanks, how will we meet up with others?

Hi Ian, Simon here: Fran Hall is selling Gurney covers (Go Faster bits) in Detroit. Q'n.: do they fit my engine head? Thanks, by the way, the OPP wanted to know if someone was going to fix the sill cover on the gas tank.

Hi Chris, I have a CAV GTD hybrid built by Jean Fourie and John Spence in S.Africa in 2002. 302 Ford, with 345bhp, and a 4=barrel Holley carb set-up. Do you know if the GW covers will sit well in my set-up? Many thanks, Simon CANADA

Hi, I just got word back from organizer George Bruggenthies that there IS now a schedule of events viewable at Road America | Road Racing at its Best! | KIC Info Center and it looks like a winner! Sunrise tour, breakfast with Redman and Hobbs. Hope this is helpful. Simon CANADA

Hi Johann, I wonder if you're the same Johann I emailed regarding bringing in a twin nostril nose insert? Simon if not, sorry for the mistake...

Hi Veek, Simon in Canada here... I couldn't help noticing you've referred to your car as No. 4. Do you have the monococque or the tube -frame CAV? If the tube, how did you interpret the chassis no. to determine "which no." car you have? Thanks, Simon
