to side track a little. this past sunday I was coming back from work and just as I was passing Bernel(sp?) exit I saw a truck pulling a trailer with a GT40 on it and a GT40 behind it following the truck/trailer!
I just about pissed my pants! I don't know enough about the kit version to tell if they were the real thing or not. However, the one on the trailer has the historically correct black with yellow lettering CA plates.
Yes that made it all worth working 28.5hrs of OT last week :doh:
BTW you have to show up on saturday to drive my car again
