Anyone notice the new content on the Intermeccanica website?
Ron, Henry and his crew di d a wonderful job. Much more info, great shop tour. Really is a "living" site. I hope that it gets more play from the faithful. By the way, Im coming to the BBQ with some Cajun friends to scope out my car and have some Fun.
I hear Henry can now sell cars in the rest of Canada?
True?
True?
That would be great for the rest of canada, but bad for anyone who wants a new one as the wait time will have to go up. He only builds what, 30 of them a year? Some go to Japan, some to his distributor in England, some to the states, some to BC, and rest of world... thats not a lot to spread around.

Get your name on the list now. It's not getting any shorter.
I put my money on Henry as well, just couldn't afford a new version of what I wanted. I pick up my 2003 IM Speedster tomorrow....can't wait.

James, Congrats to you. I saw that car posted a while ago. If I wasn't in line for a new build(constructing as we speak) I would have pulled the trigger on your car. Its beautiful and although it may cost a little more, you can SEE and FEEL where the additional money was spent. This is no KIT, but a custom mnade vehicle to specs. Enjoy!
I noticed a login on the new IM website... what goodies lie behind that login screen? How do I get a golden key? If I can't get one, I gonna have to hack my way in.. I know a 10 year old computer geek and I'm not afraid to use him....

James, That leads to a secret, virtual room where we hold clandestine IM owners meetings. You will eventually get the password when you are determined to be worthy.
Actually, I just looked at the site because I don't have the pass word either. I don't see a login area, and would guess that if there is one, it is used by the site guy to make upgrades or additions.
At least that is what I hope it is.....
BTW, nice car.

Dale, thanks for the kind words on the car.. I am loving it more every time I look at it...and I think it loves me back...
The login is on the customer car images area, so I am guessing its to add pics. I think I will ask Henry if I can add my car to that list...as long as I am not in the pics it might not break anyones monitor.
I have spent a lot of time looking at peoples cars and the things they have done to them, and your is particularly interesting to me. I checked under my hub caps and found I have a 4 bolt wheel.. is it hard to get an adapter or new hub to go to 5 bolt? I want to go to the CNC'd aluminum wheels I see on some of these cars.. very sharp. Also, where did you get that luggage rack?

James,
I guess that the login is for the Web dude to modify and add photos. If you want to put some photos of your IM on the site, send Henry a CD with some high res pictures and he will get the CD to Web dude.
I don't know much about adaptors, but they will widen the track of the car and may cause interference between the tires and the inner fender. The BEST way to do this is convert your 4-lug to the wide-5 pattern. Also check with Henry about the required wheel offset. I may be and probably am wrong, but I think that Henry had a special offset spec'e on the wheels on Jim's, Stan's and Brook's car. (there is something in the back of my mind about this....) It may have depended on whether they had the CB or the So-Cal brakes installed.
As for the rack; I was at a Good-Guys car show with the former owner of Mart's IM when one of the spectators came up and started a conversation. I had ordered my car, knew I was going to put a rack on it, but the car had not been completed yet. As the conversation progressed, the spectator said, "I have a rack that came off one of my old cars and it would fit yours"..."How much?" I asked, trying not to sound to excited..."How's 25 bucks sound?" .... SOLD!

Dale - you getting that Leitz rack for $25 is just as cool as Ray Armstrong scoring on that louvered Carrera deck lid for $50 at Paso Robles!
Dale: I got my pass word. I
