So the blue car behind her on the right is a Sunbeam Rapier, and was my first car. I drove it til it literally rusted to pieces (which happened very quickly!)

Following the Pfizer covid shots, Roz spent a year in and out of hospital (11 times!) culminating in a massive stroke a year ago. Recovery has been glacially slow, but she is improving

The one at keels and wheels was right hand drive

2019 Keels and Wheels, think it was it’s first show after a Texas restoration shop near Austin finished it. It won its class. The owner said they found a little area of original paint and spent ages trying to match it, ending up with that cool turqoise/blue. My car behind it, hot from the Big...

We went all four years of the GT program and, like many others, I swore that I’d never go back after the progressively political environment that culminated in the bogus 2019 DQs. Would love to go watch the Mustangs, however! My problem would be how to manage Le Mans with Roz now confined to a...

Revival is on my list but I’ve done FOS 5-6 times and it’s magnificent. However, you must do it via a big exhibitor in order to get the VIP treatment and access to special places. I always went with McLaren and they fly you in and out via helicopter to avoid traffic, get you seats at the Ball...

Tried logging onto GTD forum, wouldn’t recognize my password, tried to reset but never got the email

Isn’t there an old thread about this? I got mine from a Ford dealer ( with proofof GT ownership) but I’m sure that someone had sourced an appropriate belt from an industrial source

If you’re missing the originals, don’t bother with ‘Grand Tour ‘ (last one was crap), but tune in to ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ which is brilliant and pure Jeremy

I run a Ceetek through the lighter port, it's more convenient than the pigtail in the nose

Given that Ford is the only one with this kind of "clever filler" I'm guessing that a trip to a friendly ford parts department with the old ring will yield a similar one from another model. The GT used all kinds of parts from F150s, Expeditions etc, so that gasket may have come from somewhere...

Follow a GT with aftermarket clutch in stop and go traffic and you can enjoy watching the car bucking and shuddering each time it sets off! FWIW, I have stock clutch, 682rwhp, many miles, no issues

Not seeing any diff struts. I put IRS in my Vette-engined Mk2 Jaguar, based on an XKE unit. These are notorious for wheel hop, so I ran tubular adjustable struts either side of the front of the differential that run up to an anchor point on the frame.

Why not pay a professional? The guy that bought an 06 I had sent someone who was unbelievably thorough, he spent the entire day poring over the car and took about 1500 paint thickness measurements. A friend's inspection can be great (thanks Indy, thanks Terry!) But is it worth being cheapo on a...

For what it's worth,my old McLaren headlights crapped out. New units were going to be $4500, but the dealer carefully unglued all the bits, repaired/rebuilt as necessary and reassembled for less than half that price. The final product was indistinguishable from new.

52k and counting. Would be more if we'd had more rallies!

Been doing mine like that for years, no problem, even though I also have the plug through the grille too. Cig ,ighter just more convenient ient

Ditto! Maybe a late '24 delivery so that will be a nice round 5 year wait. Also being told 15 month wait on a new Rangerover.....

My local PPF installer stopped doing it on the new GTs because the glass cracks so easily. He did mine no problem but bust two others

I had an ERA for years with a 427FE. Visually, the ERA is an exact copy of the real thing and this gives plusses and minuses. They are beautiful quality and the newer ones use bespoke suspension (older cars had e.g. jag suspension). Legroom is a problem if you are tall. Most of the other fakes...
