Oooh! I like it... are those videos of a 'real' GT40 or a kit? (boy
that sounds weird. Only GT40 kits are so darn perfect. It makes the
term kit seem odd.) And what is Mike making? ("mikeandcar.jpg") I can
see the SVO rims but?

Wow, a remake I can afford some day. $30k is a far cry from the 100k
kits I keep reading about. If the ATM goes Robin Hood on me tomorrow,
its a real toss up over the GT40 or the - dare I say it - Ultima.
Your Cobra ain't so bad either :-) how hard was it to register in the CA?
