First GT40 to be crashed?

[Postie]

You managed to get six letters on there?? Or was it just the little logo thingy?

well when its in "relaxed" mode it just says Hold

By the looks of those pics the GT43 doesnt handle that great.

Wow - you're the first person I know who can tell how well a car handles by looking at a picture of it

[justsomeguy]

The GT40 has always been my all time favorite car.

I love it too, but am unhealthily obsessed with the Shelby Cobra.

I smell squid, the tin top variety. The ability to acquire a vehicle such as this, does not equate to an ability to drive one.
Sad, like the beautiful Lambo that some shite head trashed in Parnell no that long ago. Damn shame, those GT40's are a peice of bloody artwork.

someone should send those pictures to Clarkson. I bet he would have a choice comment or 2 to make

So what was it like when you drove it?

[justsomeguy]

There is only one car in the world that I really want,and that is a GT40...although I'd prefer an original one -

Who's the best local GT40 replica manufacturer??

I've seen a few DRB replicas http://www.drbsportscars.com/ and they look great from a laymans perspective - don't know from a mechanic's eye.

Me too,but like the Lotus 7 it's been copied hundreds of times,there are atleast a couple of very good Cobra kits made right here in NZ...but the GT40 has had very few copies made,it's just a bit more sacred...like some band doing a cover version of Stairway to Heaven or Smoke on the Water...it's just not done in polite society.

Heaven = blasting down Route 66 in a Gulf Replica paint scheme GT40 listening to the opening guitar solo of Smoke on the Water

Jeremy had to get a "new" GT coz he couldnt fit in the original!
Got the episode where he had to let Noel Edmonds cane his GT40 around the place - big smoky crossed up power slides - the works - and all JC could do was look on in frustration........
