    Just got around to checking this out and you are correct. It appears I failed to pick up on Boudewijn's correction. Thanks much! tongascrew

    I'm living in France, I was on the road during the GTO tour, sometimes trying to follow the cars...Believe me or not, but 110 or 120 km/h with a GTO in a little narrow road intended for a 70 km/h, it's not really conform to the rules here in France...

    Fortunately, we should not generalize, and in the end, everything went well !

    I missed all this. I trust that all bones have been mended and bruises healed?

    I am sure everyone wants to see the police photos of the crash. Is it considered bad taste to post them just becauses it is a GTO ? Or should they be withheld and why? Just thinking why we havent seen just one photo.

    Just wonder how many cliks this gets......

    I was hoping to see the Peugot . Can they fix that crushed top, or just make it a cabriolet?

    I beg to differ: at about $100M Tiger Wood's car crash had to be the costliest ever! ;)

    Hope they will also change the nose on the car behind the GTO.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is it? Looks like a 250 TR with an almost 250 California looking nose.

    I wonder if they built a new nose or if the were able to work the old nose back into shape?

    Doesnt really matter as the complete body is actually new. I dont think it had any original Maranello panels before the crash......well now it does. lol
