SupraStar 3000 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 You'd need to be mad to have an original GT40 and take it to HomeBase Ace car though Prefer the original to the new model. Although I happly take any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 You'd need to be mad to have an original GT40 and take it to HomeBase I take my kit shopping sometimes if it's a nice day, so why not a GT40? I'm sure it wouldn't have been an original Ford built GT40 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely one of the kit versions. Some of them were damn good. The GTD version apprently handled as well as the real thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 The GTD version apprently handled as well as the real thing.... The GTDs are ok but not the best. Some of the replicas are awful chassis designs. I overheard a bloke at the Stoneleigh show saying (after being asked what it's top speed is) - I took it to 120mph, but it was all wobbly on the road and started to shake, so I won't go any faster than that. These are the best replicas at the moment (also the most expensive of course) Tiff was driving one on Fifth Gear the other week I believe : http://www.cav.co.za/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Heres four resons why: - shopping trolleys - mums parking - kid and cars doors - stupid sized parking zones Double park. No-one would deny you an extra space in a GT40 Besides, you need it to get out of the darn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live in Cape Town, and went to have a look at the workshop. One of the cleaniest that I have ever seen. The guy was busy with a Cobra replica as well, when I arrived. Everything was perfect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
