Thanks guys, over the last couple of days I sat in the car several times and could only just stop myself from making engine noises.
So what's with the red then, are there hardly any red GT40's? I must be honoust and say that I prefer a different colour, but having seen the car in the flesh I must say I like the colour. For now I will keep it that way.
Hi Mike,
I understand you have the Alan Mann livery?
I read about the BFG and I think I will go for the Avon CR6ZZ tyres, these are road legal and can also be used at the Spa 6 hours. I do not an extra set of wheels though.
Haha, I will get him a BMW for track use first and let him play with that at some local drift days and circuit days. I promised I would take him with me and let him drive cars (BMW) while I am instructing others whenever he is large enough to look over the steering wheel, so that gives me some years (maybe 3-5?).
Hi Paul,
Just emailed the forms. Will some club members visit Spa for a trackday this year or do I have to bring my 40 over to the UK? Any good events I should not miss this years? Probably Goodwood?
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your help back in the summer. After all the research I did regarding the difficulties of registering the car on the road in my country unfortunately I decided against RCR and Superformance. I believe it was the blue RCR40 of Pantera that I really wanted and I just missed that. Also the Dean Lampe and your own RCR40 look very impressive indeed, maybe if I decide on a full track car without road registration.
I might need your front lamps to get the car registered...
You should join us at Spa this year with your car of course. The circuit should really suit a 40 very well, can't wait to drive my car there.
Racing against cancer is a really nice event at the Dutch TT circuit where children and people with cancer can really enjoy one day out at the circuit and forget about their illness. They get to sit next to us, sit on the back of motorbikes, join the army in their tanks, trucks and helicopters, drive go-karts, there are clowns, air cushions, police speedboats, just one big party for the patients and their family. It's a very emotional day.

Welcome to the owners club, John! Michael and I of course like the fact that you've picked a red car....

Hi John,
From the pics it looks as though you have the BF Goodrich tyres on the car. They are pretty hard and none too grippy so take it easy until you get used to everything. Probably going to be your first upgrade.
Cheers

I'm sure your son is as excited as you are and now he's the envy of all his mates. Won't be long and he'll be asking for the keys!

Hope to meet up with you soon.
I'm looking at the Spa Classic hiswell. Don't know anything about the Racing against cancer event, I'll have a look into it.
