        This is my maternal grandfather. For a while this was his daily runaround...

        He'd drive it to wherever he was racing that weekend, race the fuck out of it, and then drive home.

        Don't make them like that anymore (man or machine)....

            @Tago-Mago I don’t think they would mind…but of course, you would have to take us out for the occasional drive 🙂

              I found this, when sorting out stuff after my grandfather died. This was just up until 1955, he stopped buying serious cars in the 70's, so there were 20 more years to add to this....

              I remember in the early/mid 70's, running out of petrol in a GT40 (this one) when we were doing our regular "let's see how fast this fucker goes", a tad embarrassing. He had a couple of 427 Cobras and a 289 (all at once) after that.......I could bore you to death with all of them........

                I'm too tall for both the GT40 and the Cobra. And the Pantera, which really sucks.

                      @Tago-Mago the OG, great. Ford made some great ones, too. I think I need one step before that though, which is a pick up truck.

                        @Tago-Mago Last time I was in Italy we did the Lamborghini Factory tour. Highly recommend it if you ever are even remotely close to it. Can't say enough good things about the tour. You literally see them hand stitching the upholstery.

                          @Jett129 we will be in Italy this summer, but Bologna will be out of the way I'm afraid. South Tyrol, Verona for an opera and then on to Lake Como. Although I ought to post this in random announcements
