Marc/Mark

I did as Mark suggested and this person has tried to sell, Porsche turbo, Mercedes 600 etc
even more convincing is the following:

"Seller information
Member id misumijp12 ( Feedback Score Of 1 ) "
also
I recieved this response from the seller about the chassis number and only these words
"NON NUMBER"

I have aslo asked Classic Cars Sales to investigate their on line listing.

Cheers
Graeme

Thanks Carmine but maybe I just looked at too many Ukrainian blonde personal ads;-)

More seriously I do not recognize at all the Khamsin in the scam ad photos, does it ring a bell with anybody?

best regards,

Marc

Hi Khamsinisti,

After months of work I had the first real trip in Khamsin #008 tonight since last fall. The car has seen little use the last ten years, and the leaking hydraulics and faulty electrics are evidences for why standstill is not good for these cars. I bought the car last fall and has covered a total of 750 kms. in the car, the last 50 tonight. On Wednesday morning Mrs. Sorteberg and I are heading for Dijon, France, a 1900 kms. trip one way from Oslo.

Hopefully it's reliable now with fresh fluids, rebuilt Bosch hydraulics, some new gaskets and water pipes, and new belts all over. The small things you can't remember afterwards are always the things that takes the longest to fix, but I had to focus on getting the car ready to handle the trip, not win the concourse (it's without chances anyway). I really look forward to meet all of you that are attending K40.

Good luck on the trip! See you on Friday!

Best regards
Marius Sorteberg

Hi All

Best wishes for every one setting out on the jurney to Khamsin Quaranta.

I would live to have been there for the event and to drive my car in countries where the learners are restricted to Australia's maximum speed limit! and a Khamsin can at least travel on the cam!

For those who are making the jurney, at least LHM is more readily available!

Regards
Graeme

To all who are making it there,

Enjoy the special get together.
Please post photos of the goings on. I'm sure they have internet access at the chateau.

I also contacted the "seller" on ebay and requested photos and more info and his response was to see the advert. There is not much doubt that this is a scam.

Classic car sales are investigating but I have not heard from them as yet.

Hello all!

Everything is in place for K40, I will be arriving there Thursday morning ready for the first arrivals in the afternoon. We will have a dedicated KHAMSIN QUARANTA reception desk in the lobby. you can't miss it and you will see why when you arrive:-).

For those of you arriving Friday afternoon we will be manning the desk from approximately 5.30 to 6.30 as soon as we come back from the Tour de Bourgogne, the coach bus for the off site Friday dinner will leave at 7pm sharp. Of course you can get your room keys as soon as you arrive.

Wishing a wonderful trip to all those coming and to all who are not rest assured we will post plenty of photos asap:-)!

I can't wait to see the Swiss, British and German convoys arrive as well as other isolated arrivals such as Marius the Viking: may Thor and Odin be with you on the journey my friend!

best regards,

Marc

We also made it to the planned stop just north of the border between Germany and Denmark. We covered half the distance, and just have 950 kms. left. We will stop at Trier next and spend the night. Never been there, so we look forward to it.

008 are doing well, but a vibration from the prop shaft at speeds above 130 km/h make sure its a safe journey.

Stein and his son arrive Bern in 380 tomorrow morning. Just got an message from them.

See you on Friday

Hilsen Marius

Here's hoping that the Khamsin gets somewhat better mileage than the QP3 (it is after all a lot more aerodynamic looking, at very least!)

Hope you enjoy your trip, the roads are free of traffic and the meet is a success!

Looking forward to seeing all the Khamsins in one place.

:-)

Swiss Austrian Norwegian Squadron (SANS) to K40

Gents,

The SANS is coming:
#380 has made it on train in Hamburg from Oslo; we expect her in Lörrach in a few hours.
#1298 hopefully made the train from Vienna to be here in Zurich later this morning.
The Swiss rest are starting their engines right now.

For the record and as a teaser: pictures of the convoy cars K#160, K#232, K#338, K#380, K#1298, plus Bellagio #00.

Cheers,
SANS-leader (in K#338)

Khamsin Spotted on way to 40K

Hi All
reading my daily Piston head Email I found this article and a picture od a Khamsin getting on the ferry
http://images.pistonheads.com/nimg/2...gging_04-L.jpg
Quote
We're now at Dover queuing for the ferry, Dan and Jimmy describing learning to live with prosthetic limbs in disarmingly straightforward squaddie language while we all indulge in a bit of car spotting in the queue. Best we've seen so far is a gorgeous Maserati Khamsin, but top Le Mans marks to the guys in the Bentley Brooklands coupe too.
