William, yes, it is Miles sen. About 2 years ago. | ||

I am not sure if we are talking about the same person. Miles is who I am dealing with. I thought he is the son. Now if there is a Miles sen. then he passed away. Tearing up Homestead sounds like a fun project. >Andrew is BACK<  Gotta set up the car first though. There is some timing problem with the trigger ignition. May have to consult Paul for some help. | ||

Wow, I didnt know Miles died, how ? THats too bad, he was a good guy. Martin I think u will have good luck with that car. After I finish the 512TR racer we'll go tear up Moroso & Homestead | ||

Jay, looks like you need more than just some stuff LOL Don't get discouraged though. William, yes, that is Miles car. I will fly up on the 16th right after the vacation and truck it down. Will rent a Budget Truck 24Ft. and drive it to Miami. He has so many parts for the car. All the body molds and stuff, I may need a hanger. It was his dads pet project. He passed away and I guess there are too many memories for him. I will give it a good home. Jay, all I can do is sell you the whole car at the moment. I also have a 208GT4 engine coming in. May sell it without that engine though. My car has no interior but all doors (one is cut into), hoods, lids etc. | ||

Martin you are making me drool! Now I really can't wait to get the GT4 on the road! What kind of work was done to convert it to a GT1-GT2 class car? What are you selling off of the other GT4? I need some stuff! | ||
| William H (Countachxx)

Martin , I know that yellow GT4, it belonged to Miles, good guy, he ran it for years in the NE, he was always working on it but I think he got it so its pretty fast . Good luck | ||

Martin, The great thing about the new car in your words " and when i am not racing we can all sit around the wing and eat lunch". The wing seats 8? do you have the inserts so we can seat 10 or 12? Paul | ||

Rob, I am just purchasing the car. Just finalized the transactionw ith the current owner. The car is IMSER GT1-GT2 specs (or at least was) and no, I did not do the work. As you know I have a similar project cooking but this deal was just to good to pass up on and not go through the hassle of building it yourself. My 208Gt4 is up for sale now. Parts with chassis and I also have a 208Gt4 engine coming with tranny that I bought right before I got this car last week.  Needs somebody with a vision and hands on experience. I actually wanted to bring the body to the shop to have some of the metal work done, sandblast the rest and paint it. Then drop the engine and do some suspension work with the car. Just the parts are worth it. | ||

Martin, I didn't know you had a gt4. Still have the 308 engine in it? --tim d | ||
| Rob Lay (Rob328gts)
|
Martin, How long have you had the GT4? Did you do the work yourself or did it come mostly built? I really like it. Does it have a roll cage? I'm thinking about a 308 race car project. | ||

next year? there is so many great events this year. How about Sebring in June/july? Gainsville? Homestead in October? Can't wait to pick up the Track-Rat  | ||

Martin, Who needs brakes when all you need are few high manhole covers to slow you down! After watching you out i was kicking myself for not registering to drive...........Next Year for sure. | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)

Paul, thanks. It was fun while it lasted....could have been really interesting to head into the shicane without brakes after getting 120 on the back straight trying to brake down to 35... and I just fixed the front bumper after the lunch excusion.. Moroso is an interesting track. As far as William goes...he was hauling A*S. That TR takles the corners better and sits glued to the road and on the straights he was a hell of a lot faster even with my fat a*s in the passenger seat. Made me realize that I need some private lessons from nika | ||
