Re: GT40 Australia #48

No sorry Norman, the reflection from the mirrors,lap dancing
pole and the water in the jaccuzi messed up camera flash.

Hey Pete
My car is angry with you for that stretch impression, in fact it's added you to it's hate list: Porsche, Ferrari, Pete, etc.Not a good Idea to come to Melbourne in the near future it may eat you.

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Sorry for taking the liberty Ross,but at least you can lay claim to owning the only stretch gt in the world. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Look forward to meeting you at the Grand Prix.

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Been awhile since I posted.Coz nothing to report /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
My car is in the body shop being prepared for painting.
I can only hope that the bloke doing it is as good and thorough as he is slow. Very frustrating. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif


Had a look at Flatchat punting his yellow GT40 at Queensland raceway Sunday.The sound it makes at full noise down the straight is very very impressive. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Thanks Denis, everyone who knows Graham speaks very highly
of him and his work.Graham rang me after reading my post and he seems like a real pro. I guess I am just an impatient bastard!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Just doesn't get much better than seeing the paint go on. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just noticed the other day that Mazda Velocity Red has a mica fleck through it. Unusual for such a solid colour. Probably what makes it look so good. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I noticed Mazda also has mica in their solid yellow colour as well...interesting.

Hey, have you decided about pin stripe colours?

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Looks great. I can hardly wait to see pics of it when its together.

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Thanks Guys,
I can't wait to see it together either.
Craig I decided on the blue stripe it highlights the silver
better than the black. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Craig White]

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Glad you went with the blue pin stripe, it will have more flair.

I also can't wait to see it(and hear it), once it's together. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
