Mikael,
Clearly your day job is being a writer for a comedy show. That was a hugely entertaining read. I know it's been a while since you posted, but I only just finished reading it all tonight. I felt like I was there except I still have the $10,000 and can't remember hearing my wife complain about how camping is akin to sleeping in the muddy trenches of Normandy in WWII. Thanks for such a great account of the LMC trip and for sharing it. Thanks also to Charlie for organising and all who shared in the adventure.
As far as the new paint, listen to Charlie. He (and Jonny Woods) has great taste. Dark wine red looks stunning on an early Pantera with all that chrome.
Oh, and for the record, the GT40 is one of the sexiest shaped cars ever designed. Just ask Mike Drew, or anyone who owns one.
Good luck!
Mark
