Steve, Having your GT40 to drive here would be the icing on your cake. On your next trip to AZ, put Antelope Canyon on your itinerary. You will need to hire a Navajo Indian guide (easily done) since it is on their Reservation and you will be rewarded with a unique experience. Just don't tour...

That may explain it.

I'm clad to hear that you enjoyed your trip. We do have some great places to visit here in AZ and UT. Unfortunately, the trend these days in the UK and Europe seems to be to regulate themselves to death.

I've been doing a bit of work on my Manta Mirage, the original "MANTA 2" from The Manta Cars showroom in Santa Ana, CA. Its Holley 650 cfm Spread bore needed to be rebuilt so I've taken it off to rebuild with new gaskets, etc. Wedged in the secondary float level valve was this...a tiny piece of...

Here is another GT, also called an Mk6GT- a Lola.

When I built my Black Mirage for running at Bonneville, I made the front wheel caster what I thought was OK for high speed stability. John Horsman asked me how much caster I built into my front suspension and I replied 7 degrees. I said "That sounds about right". It was stable at speed when I...

"...and a cast of thousands!" :D

The sound of a 3 liter V-12 echoing back in the mountains of West Virginia on Route 250 is positively erotic, too!

2,5 degrees? That looks like a very small amount of caster.

Judging from its tensile strength/temperature curve, it can be disassembled by using a heat gun.

We always get three questions- "What is it?" "How fast will it go?" "How much did it cost?"

Great trip. Did you make it up to Rainbow Bridge?

A long time ago I had a VW Avenger kit car and on a drive the clutch cable broke. With luck I managed to get it home with rolling ahead on the starter and then very careful shifting. Not fun!,

No offense intended but this actually happened to me: I had a Porsche 911 in that same shade of green. Once when I pulled into a convenience store parking lot, I parked next to a car with someone sitting in the passenger seat. The guy was a biker- covered with tattoos and wearing chains. As I...

I found this clip of the opening scene of Clint Eastwood's "Play Misty For Me". The first time I saw this film I was still single and it scared the hell out of me. I could never pick up a girl in a bar after seeing this movie without thinking of Evelyn. Jessica Walter plays her role with a scary...

...or maybe that BMW Isetta back in the corner. :p

If you run the Texas Mile you car run at Bonneville. The 150 Club during World of Speed might be a good place to start. The salt residue can't be helped.

I think I removed these mirrors from inside an F-86 canopy.

"...look like the military-spec mirrors on the aircraft I flew." Like this?

What we are seeing is another example of "be careful what you vote for- you might get it."
