I predict a long string of podium finishes.

I'm a gambler that way.
I stole DelBoy's lighter and lived to tell the tale.

Wasn't there a private AM in the race last year?
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

So again it will be 2 corvettes and 1 aston in GT1, still no improvement over last year if you ask me? At least GT2 is looking good, porsche, ferrari, spyker and of course a GT40 ;D

GT40???  I didn't know the GT40 was ever homologated for GT2 back in the 70's?  Did GT2 exist back then? Surely it's homologation would have expired by now anyway?

or

Do you mean a Ford GT?
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?
