Your English is fine, at least you know another language, I'm always embarrased that we are so poor at languages and expect others to speak English.
On the P4 Replica I hope it won't take me a lifetime!, I hope to have it on track at the end of the year. I have been in contact with James and he has been very generous however you must understand I am in awe of him as he is rebuilding a real one probably worth �10m mine maybe worth �90k a big difference but I have always loved the P4 and this the only way to have a car that looks like one
What would I do if I didn't do this?, I might have built another Caterham race car but probably I would just be lazy and bored!!!
When I've finished, well if it goes well you never know I might build another!!
I promise to bring to Europe when it's done, I'd like to drive Spa again! |

Mark,
you don`t need to speed with your porject.
It`s a life time job. I`m so sorry for my poor scholl english `cause its hard for me to find the right translation of my thoughts.
- Its more important to start and do this P4
project....what YOU have already done!
- What would you do, if you haven`t done this?
- What will you do when its finished?
- The way is the target!
Are you in contact with James Glickenhaus?
I`m sure he can help you with all the questions
coming up the next few months/years.
KEEP ON !!!
Wolfgang

thanks, I don't think it'll be built for a while, around 700 hours build time!, bits are arriving though, the engine is just being finished from a service (cam belts etc) chassis and body arrive in about 4 weeks, then the fun begins

Hi Mark,
wow, just coming back from your web-site: http://www.collinsclan.co.uk
AMAZING !!! Please keep us updated with your P 4 project! My personal No. 1 car! To die for!
Everybody (?) is dreaming of this car. But you, you did it! Respect and hopefully we will see the car in the future. I`m always ready for a trip to UK to see the car on the road.
Sorry for going off-topic with your BGP F1 thread.
FORZA FERRARI
