Welcome to the forum, Ernst. I'm always happy to see new members from Down Under b/c I am a fan of the Ford Cleveland line of engines and y'all from Australia had a much longer relationship with the 335 series than we in the U.S. From the information in your post I'm sure you'll be right at home on this forum and your experience with building those other GT40's will be very helpful in your new quest.

Good to have you on board!

Guess who has a red face!!!

Doug,
Ernst is from Austria.......

OMG--my face is so red!!!

Dugly (the evil alter-ego of YerDugliness) must have taken over briefly. He does that every now and then. In fact, I think he's the one who blames the farts on the dog.

My apoligies for mixing up the Aust..... countries, and thanks to 5150 for pointing out Dugly's mistake.

hahaha, austria via australia, i am happy about the mistake, no matter, some part we get in usa are going to australia, then come back to austria, in the future i will say ---from the schwarzenegger-land---.

yes i love the german autobahn to, but in austria we are restrictet to 130 kmh, and our police-officers are verry good hunters, the only way to going fast is a motorcyle like mine -- a kawasaki zx10r-- first gear 160 kmh

thanks for alowed comming in, i feel very well under all this gt-40-virus-guys.

Hello Just,

Welcome to the forum. You will fit right in here!

Autobahn? Germany? When I first started reading this, I immediately thought of German Bier. Oh boy, grossa bier, Hofbrauhaus, bier, more bier. Where did you say you were from??? Just kidding.epper:

Do me a favor. Grab a bier of your favorite, and toast one for everyone.:chug:

Cheers,

 

[David Morton]

We have Puntigammer and Gosser here as well so again a toast one for everyone.:chug:

Ciao Ernst,
Vienna is not so far from Italy, so do not exclude u will found one day a NUT italiano searching for u

benvenuto a bordo!

 

[just ernst]

good evening to italy

you are welcome, i love italy and every free-time i had i goes to ravenna, driving jet-ski with my italien friends, or driving supermoto in pomposa, or made a look trough the südtiroler-alpen, with my motocycle. great country, and verry good race-tracks. and so much people are infectet with the gas-virus and race-virus and funn-virus and......dream-car-virus.
in austria we had doctors who kill this viruses, some are policemen some are from the guoverment and some make our laws, now we are a verry clean country with no so much funn, no race-tracks, ......................

but we had much wine to dream from...............

kind regards

Hello Ernst,

Welcome to the forum!

I think you'll find some of the friendliest and most helpful people on the 'net on this forum. Even though we all come different backgrounds and from all corners of the world, we're united by our love of the GT40, and great cars in general.

Enjoy.

Joe

To Ernst & Paolo:

While I was in Europe (mainly Germany) in 1979, I took a trip to Italy, which took me over the Brenner Pass. I remember a very tall concrete bridge near the Brenner Pass. On the bridge were signs posted for motorists NOT TO STOP ON THE BRIDGE!!! Me being the most lawful person on the planet, I thought about the legalities for a few seconds, and yep, hit the brakes and parked the car next to the side of the bridge for a look-see. As I looked over the edge of the bridge, I got major butterflies in my stomach. Not sure how tall the bridge surface was, but it was in my best interest to get back in the car, and get the hell off that bridge.

So, do you know which bridge I speak of? And how tall off of the ground it is? :yuck:

Wow, that was almost 30 years ago.:chug:

Thanks in advance.............

Europabrucke - 600 feet above the Sill valley ?

 

[just ernst]

hi
jes, it is the "europabrücke", build in the years 59-63, 180 meter high and over 800 meter long, located over the "wipptal". i read it in a lexikon, hihih.

i drives over with a motorcycle and normaly i had no pain, but iff you knows the high and you looks right, you want to had an turbo to ride away verry fast. during driving it is realy a schock, to have nothing left and right, only air, haha.
