Quite some cool cars there, some of which I never saw in real life before:

Ariel Atom
Ford GT40 (60's version)
Lamborghini Gallardo Spider
Murcielago
Porsche 9ff

And? Where is the difference between other websites that put down "german"?
That's the way english is spelled in german, it seems stupid though and i haven't seen that before.

Just in case you were curious...

Other than that, some pretty cool cars. Didn't know the Cannonball also ran in Europe...

Just in case YOU were curious, in russian that'd be
Английский...................................Pусский (Russian)
( spot the difference ).

Anyway it seems quite a designer fault. Every language link should be written in that exact language, even if it takes some gifs. Apart from that, it's not so common to write "english" in any other language.
Anyway, i wasn't THAT laughing at it. So calm down everyone ;)

the Ford GT is the new one. The GT40 replica, original, remanufactured is the 60's one. The one in the photos is a GT40

should be original, don't think a replica would have the same door that can slice off someones head

Sorry, just me being silly. Basically, I grabbed those translations off of Alta Vista's Babel Fish, which means whatever it translates from one language into another, it does so poorly.

The above phrase, translated into Russian, and then translated back using Babel Fish:

Ogorchenno, exactly 4 is silly. It is basic, I gripped those transfers of fish babel Alta Vista, which it will intend it transfers from one language into others, it make so plokh

Hi Andy, coming from Melbourne you should check out this address:

Roaring Forties Australia
Sales Team
14 Vernon Ave
Heidleberg Heights Victoria 3081

http://www.roaringforties.com.au/

They make replica GT40's with head chopper doors, and even have the option for the 'Gurney Bubble' if your too tall.

Under previous management they used to sell them for around AUD$100,000 or about USD$75,000

I have seen a few around my area - inner east Melbs. The factory used to be on the Mornington Peninsula, not sure now.
