Dear Jim, Great, will be good to see you at the Open House, plus you can converse with Bryan in 365GT2+2 lingo. Tom, Congratulations on the trophy at Lime Rock, see - good things do happen to good people. By the way since you are not coming to the open house I guess that means I can scrub off your f...

Dear Yangsters, I know that many of you were able to see the car on the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach but I have had many requests from folks who were not able to make the sojourn to California asking when they would be able to see the car. My little workshop is not big enough to handle any sort of a...

Dear Yangsters, It is on the truck headed West! I expect all of you who make it to Monterey and see the car to come up and introduce yourselves to "Team Mondial", we may even have a guest log book to sign. One last teaser shot entitled "Have we met before?" On the right is Bryan's and my car at the ...

" If we allow a four cylinder car among us..."

Dear Tom,

Thank you!

Best regards,

Dear Yangsters, Yes the color coordination effort with the shirt was almost spot on, the gray did not match very well but the red and blue were close. Michael you and Billy and Bryan did more than just look over my shoulder in this journey, but rolled up your sleeves and pitched in. Thank you. Today...

Dear Yangsters, Wow! Double wow! It just goes to show you how a 41 year memory gap smoothes over the rough edges. To me this car looks positively stunning sitting still. It is positively uncivilized once moving. In case you had not guessed by now, today I took a twenty minute test drive, and yes, I ...

Dear Yangsters, The time machine is slowly but surely getting closer to completion. All of the items in the attached shot are finished and are as close to original as we can make them. For example the green label on top of the air horn pump is original, just cleaned up. One fun aspect of my car is t...

Dear Yale, Very close to the right answer. Back in the day of gentleman racing it was considered proper to let the person you were about to pass know which side you were going to take, so the turn signal lever provided that signal. A similar but less frequent use was to let the rare overtaking drive...

Dear Yangsters, Time sure does fly when there is a real deadline! For a simple little race car it certainly is starting to look complicated under here: http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh82/RADM_photo/underdash.jpg This view is a bit more orderly: http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh82/RADM_photo...

Dear Yangsters, Can you believe only six weeks to Monterey? We do have progress to report, nothing was dinged when we "dropped" the motor in the car, have always thought that that expression was a bit foreboding. Now a few dozen connections etc to make. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh82/RADM_p...

Dear Yangsters, Actually there were two heaters, the passenger side has the four exhaust manifold pipes just inches in front of their feet with only a thin aluminum firewall separation. Just to the right of the driver's accelerator foot sits a 20 quart oil tank for the dry sump engine, and after a l...

John, yes it will be shipped by truck out and back. As for a drop dead date, we are ahead of schedule at the moment and should have it wrapped up in another few weeks. Yale, Not really somber but this time of year crossing the continental divide provides no challenge. It is when you try it in early ...

Dear Yangsters,

Does it look happy?

Best regards,

Dear Yangsters,

Go get the current issue of FORZA and read the very nice article about Tom and his first baby.

Good show old friend.

Best regards,

Robert

Sorry John, I missed your question. Yes the button on the top of the starter is depressed by the action of the lever. I had the opportunity to test just that exact motion this past Wednesday and surprise surprise. The motor runs for the first time in over forty years. Nice ugly four cylinder rumble ...
