Thanks for the kind words guys. People who know me well know I'm pretty good at making things look better than they really are, so don't be TOO envious. Many years of 80-hour weeks have led to this. That and not spending a ton of money on high-end fast-depreciating daily-drivers has helped.

Chris, I couldn't agree more. The Miura and Grifo are two of my other favs, but will likely always be out of reach for me now.

Mikael, I feel for you. I'm sure that one day soon they will allow people in Denmark to purchase heaters for their garages. The day we moved the car in it was -13°C and we routinely, like you, get -30°. Check out the view from yesterday morning:



Erik. Maybe if you had a JOB you could live they way I do! Just kidding. Big Grin You have nothing to complain about either, unless the days of your early retirement aren't long enough to wax your Ford GT AND your awesome Pantera. Remember that I have no kids so because I have no college tuitions to save for, I can buy more toys. Big Grin

David. Well, if anyone paints a rosier picture of my reality than I do, It's David. Kind words, even if rather over-stated. Thanks Dude.

Hein, one day I will set up and take the photo that I had in my mind the entire time I was putting this shop together and you will, I'm sure have a good laugh. Please note also that this shop IS in my house, It was the potential to build this workshop that was one of the reasons that I bought the place. The other being the rather adequate main garage, of course. The house itself is relatively modest.

And yes, LIV1S, those are indeed the wheels from Group4 in the UK. They are very nice, IMO and really suit the car well. I've never liked the narrow and inset look of the original wheels but still have mine and will use them for show-use only with my vintage XWX tires.
