Right Jeff. Only thing is, you might want to get an estimate for how long it will take for the Ford assistance to get there - often these roadside assistance services are VERY slow (hours) and even then they might just load the car on a flat bed. A locksmith can probably get you into the car...

Oh right. Actually I posted a Ford memo a month ago with the list of storage suggestions. They recommend filling the tires to 44 psi (no more!). Also don't forget the battery tender! The GT Hotline lady (Cathy Richards) told me the tender supplied with the car is a 'float' style charger and...

Very odd. Did you try both keys? One might be a little off. If that doesn't work: on an ordinary car one can call a tow truck company and with a Slim Jim they can open the car. On a GT I would probably call a locksmith.

you should be able to put the ignition key in the tumbler in the driver's side door and open it manually that way.

Dave I pm'd you many weeks ago about this, but did not get a reply [also some contributors here also want to become sponsors, so answer your email dang it!] I don't see the price tags for the different levels of membership here or at the linked thread. Can you illuminate those of us in the dark?

I don't see this posted anywhere else, so I thought I would bring to your attention the fact the Genaddi Design people have posted some pics of their hidden bumper system - see it here: http://www.gtx1.com/internalbumper.html This is a great solution for those of us who like the clean look...

MT - someone should ask those guys that have lowered their cars (are you there Rocman?!!) how tall they are now. Might be pretty close to 40 :wink Ferrari Eater - I like that. Good answer :thumbsup

Looking for an update to this thread - what did you decide?

You are correct - unless it is on the RIV "approved" list it is supposed to impossible. However, I was told by a big dealer in TO that it is not impossible. But he would not share with me the 'trick' of how to get one in. Maybe you have to be a politician! :ack

Sounds great Angelo - and thanks for the tip of the hat. You are going to love driving the car when you get the chance. Maybe the car and you should vacation in Florida this winter!!?? :cheers One thing we didn't cover is the topic of storage and gas in the tank. For my car I put in the...

You must be right - he has to be a great guy. He has put over 20,000 miles on his Mark IV GT40 since he got it. He has street plates on the thing!! A local collector tried driving his own Mark 1 (#1024) on the street here a few times and the cops would tell him to get it off the road. BTW...

Getting late in the year so of course re-runs are on. Just watched the "Victory By Design" focus on Porsche on Speed. They have updated the show to include the Carrera GT. The opening scenes with the GT are worth watching alone; plus some great footage in the opening of a guy drifting a RUF...

FYI A test of the car is online for free at Windingroad.com. Also features a video

I heard he wanted a lightweight red west coast version. BTW Cage has been known to collect cars, and to trade them often.

Absolutely right Neil. It's REALLY noticeable when you have filled the tank with Stabil, then fill 'er to the brim! Get a pretty nice high out of it though :wink

I thought Unique was bad enough when they painted numbers on the doors of Tony Stewart's Murcie. Yechhh. BTW did you notice in that same Unique Whips show the guy who put on the window tinting put it on the OUTSIDE of the windows!!!! Nice craftsmanship! :thumbsup

...plus different speedo and daytime running headlights. Mine was imported with the optional paint, which makes the car invisible to belligerent police. So far, only smiles and thumbs up - no tix!

On this day in 1775 the US Marine Corps was born http://www.lee.army.mil/marines/MCHistory.html I had a nice USMC insignia to upload but the forum server wouldn't 'take' it. Anyway, tomorrow Americans and countries in the British Empire honor their veterans and military. Every year we make...
