That's funny! But he'd probably hurt himself before bending the steering wheel.

I'd be scared to drive it too. They're $250,000-300,000. I'd buy a used Superformance for $130,000 like that red one and not worry as much.

$250-300k for a non-heritage. Tony's car is a heritage. But I hear ya on the superformance gt40. I've been looking at those. I went for a ride in one a couple of years ago, and it really left an impression.

And Mike, one other thing. What's up with calling folks here "junior," "crotchety old farts," and "fat"?

BTW, I never did hear back about the hydrostatic body fat test? Betting is still open.

Don't you just love a guy who jumps on the front foot and lambast people (he doesn't know) only to then proclaim later he's the victim?

I'm starting to like MHNCO, he's making me laugh. I've never seen a dude call so many out, so often, in so little time, only to have to eat humble pie at every turn. Smartest thing he did was walk away from the bets he's laid.

Oh & I'd happily weigh in on the skin fold test too just cos I'm curious. I've put on a few pounds since I've stopped riding as much, but I'm still sub 85kgs at 184cm.

Hey RK, I hear whites the new beige. Wait a while, it will grow on you.

Enjoy,

Well, I'll say this, I'm having my oatmeal with chia, hemp and flax seed right now, and then I'm off to the gym.

I don't do metrics, but weight isn't important, body fat % is. You could be 85kgs with 8% body fat, or 85kgs with 18% body fat.

As for white, to each his or her own. But if I'm repainting my replica of a race car, I'm painting it an eye popping color. But at least white is better than beige. Who would paint their race car replica beige. Might as well throw some camouflage paint on there instead. Blech.

It's a slight shade off from pure white. Definitely not a beige.

Followed by a big glass of prune juice I'm sure...

Actually not that far off. Prune juice is for old people who are constipated. Today we juice cleanse.

Pressed Juicery, which consists of:

GREENS 3
apple
celery
cucumber
ginger
kale
lemon
parsley
romaine
spinach

I'm not curious at all and please take that sort of "curious" talk over to the rainbow people forum okay?

Bernica · #12 (**permalink**) 07-10-2016, 03:26 PM

Yup. Just a slight tint of cream color in the white for the Old English, but not enough to make it beige!

I'm curious why Mike is being a jerk now? Getting blind isn't too funny I think.

MHNCO · #14 (**permalink**) 07-10-2016, 05:14 PM

Hmm when you were sending me emails and acting like a friend you mentioned the Las Vegas traffic being too heavy and not liking the poor visibility?

Do you still own the Cobra?

Giving up a 991 GT3 for a Superformance GT40 is just plain stupid.

I didn't feel it was necessary then (nor really, now) to explain why. When you have only one eye driving in heavy traffic is problematic. Right side vision is nil, and couple that with the huge GT blind spot makes it not fun Then add two cataract surgeries (both sides) and loss of peripheral vision it's tough to navigate in heavy traffic. The last time I had the GT out was in February for C&C, previous was in December for emissions. So the reality is, I'm not afraid to drive the GT, I can't drive the GT (comfortably). I'm now AFRAID to drive my wife's Honda. Fortunately I don't have to do that often either. The Honda has a right side blind spot camera too, thank goodness you can turn it on without activating the turn signal. I waited for the 2016 MY for it it be standard.

No, I sold the Cobra to get the GT.

Mecum Denver just had one of the vaulted heritage cars no sale at $240. The only cars that brought money were the heritage wrapper cars. The bottom is falling out of that market as all the speculators have moved on.

You sound like an .... Interesting fellow.

$240 would be an insult for most any clean-title Ford GT, much less a Heritage GT, like Tony's.

Now Bernie you're going to keep opening this thread every time I post. You can't help it. Then you're going to read something and be beside yourself wanting to say something but you won't be able to because of some silly arbitrary restriction you've placed upon yourself. Loosen up your collar a little this is just the internet.
