Hi all. I have been on this site for some time now. I just bought RF80 from Peter Olliviere. I have learned so much about the GT40 just enjoying this site and the people on it. Ron you run a wonderful site. I have to say dealing with Peter was great. He is a wonderful man and I look forward to meeting him in the future. I almost bought his previous GT. That is one reason I purchased this one. I knew him from prior discussions and his posts. I knew I would get a great car and without anything hidden. That was important as I was buying site unseen.
I also have to thank Pete Delaney. As I said I have been wanting a GT for years. Several years ago Pete was kind enough to pick me up when I was in Sydney and show me his car. His car was not on the road at that time and he arranged for me to ride in another car. It was like setting the hook. I have been on the verge of a purchase several times but life has thrown it many curves. I will not have my car here with me in Thailand because the duty is like 370% on what they value the car at. They will not tell you the value untill it arrives and then if you dont pay you forfit the car. Yes quite the scam. But it is home in my garage with the heard of other cars. I'll get to see it in a few months for a few weeks.
I would like to thank the people on the forum who have answered my technical questions. That is what makes this site so great. I really like how someone will travel to another persons house just to help them with difficulties they may be having on thier car. I look forward to retirement when I can drive my car more and have time for modifications.
Sincerely
Jim
