    Photo shoot $

    Big Carrot, I like the way you're thinking there - a hot model posing with the car might change the economic balance of the transaction. Only trouble is - my wife is a bit narrow-minded when it comes to me picking up strays like that (sorry Hon- she followed me home; what could I do?? - heh heh...

    Todays market

    Excellent Prowler - I accept your offer. Texans always did have the best hospitality. Chicken fried steak is a delicacy I have yet to try. I think I'm gonna need at least 3lbs of it for the main course. Hold the fried rattlesnake. Bring on the Lone Star. re Hijacking - well, it's all about the...

    Veyron vs Viper tt vs Gt tt

    the Veyron has a nice interior, but you need really dark sunglasses to look at the exterior. Not exactly a great looking design, in the league of a McLaren or GT. Maybe more like a Mike Tyson kind of 'handsome' - perhaps. :wink

    thanks for the compliment Mr. Beck. For all those guys who kindly sent me pm's or email notes about this subject - thanks to you also. We have a great crew of true enthusiasts at this Forum. BTW, I sure enjoyed the muscle cars when I had them but I also remember that the brakes tended to not...

    Todays market

    The first question one has to answer for oneself is - how much do you enjoy driving a fine car; a car with very few performance peers? A SUPER car. If you enjoy driving (and are not interested, say, merely in owning cars to get attention), then the GT is a bargain. It's worth the memories no...

    Uncomfortable Seats-Help!

    Jammer that is a very creative solution! Very clever. Luckily I am one of those who like the seats the way they are. I did not expect a Cadillac seat in my supercar! I have no complaints - I like 'em firm. And on hot days (or under 'hot' driving, i.e. at the track) the vents are appreciated...

    Ford GT coldline

    Hi - thatnks for the offer. I have a 2006 GT red/white, living very happily in Vancouver BC. There is a bit of debate at the forum site that I hope you can clear up here [in addition to trying to sole CSX 2104's mystery]. Some don't like the battery tender because it does not have a light to...

    The FORD GT: Buying and Owning IT and 5 Other Supercars!

    Empty, thanks for picking up this thread - I would not have seen it otherwise. This website is enormous! That fellow Michael has a nice gift for writing yarns. Wonder what ever happened to him - have not seen any posts lately. BTW EP, my experiences are very similar to yours. The only trouble...

    Uncomfortable Seats-Help!

    No cupholders either. Have to drive with one hand while I swig my 6 pack of Old Milwaukee (the champagne of the South). Life's a bitch!

    Lowered car too much!!!???

    Thank you. What I meant was, something that could adjust the height of the ride primarily, not just firmness.

    Lowered car too much!!!???

    Is there any setup that is adjustable from the cockpit without having to install monster pumps in the trunk like on the lowrider pimpmobile air bag cars? There is so much real estate development around here the roads are constantly changing and the repave jobs can be bloody awful.

    Japan Super GT race series

    Thanks for all your help Jeff. You da' man! And duly noted Chris - something new to try. I love that pic with the flames - good photographer. Also, the side shot is tres cool; wonder if that car is 40 inches tall - looks like it! That car is techno rich - lookit all the flaps and extra...

    Japan Super GT race series

    I do have 4 great pictures, if the webmaster can help me out I will post them (server says they are 'too large' - how do I overcome that ?) The guys posting those Murcie pics seemed to have no problem and did not need (it seems) to shrink the pictures. Is there a magic decoder ring that one...

    Japan Super GT race series

    floating around are some pics of a Ford GT set up to race in the Super GT series. Does anyone have any more pics or updates on this? A web search turns up a few things, like the main site http://supergt.net/en/ If you want pics of outrageous race cars and Japanese grid girls, there's lots...

    Halfshaft Bolt Answers (all threads merged)

    Same here DBTGT - I don't understand how anyone could have a problem after upgrading to the new bolts and washers, unless either the tech was a slouch or re-installed the old bolts. Something wrong here. More info required. In the meantime I ain't worried - drive my car like hell when I can. If...

    Air Box Heat shield

    Tungsten, on the other thread they were using the heat shield to protect the air box. Apparently heat damage to the air box is an issue after you put a lot of miles on the car. Personally I like the idea of the gold foil! Good call.

    Ordered my GTX1 but I can't decide what color

    That comp. image is very nice, & the real paint is gorgeous! You have good taste my friend. Really shows off the lines. :thumbsup How can you stand the wait? I'd be on my sixth bottle of Old Grandad by now. Are you going for the hidden bumper option? Also let us know what your experience has...
