    That gear stick reminds me of the bloke that had five dicks.






















    His underpants fit like a glove.

    "Though fitted with a functional fan atop the rear deck (as used for forced-air-cooling in the original), power comes from what appears to be a water-cooled Ferrari flat-12, now fitted with velocity stacks and reportedly putting 600 hp through a G50 5-speed transaxle with a final drive ratio correct for original 917’s"

    Typical, the owner was emphatic it had a real 917 engine. A TR engine makes sense and would be less than 10K here.

    Had a chuckle at that story. In 2005 after spending 2 days trying to find & get to the Alfa Romeo museum from Milan my son in law & I had to leave our passports at security to get in. No entry fee,a free book about the place & floors & floors of displays. Incredible.

    Grand National Roadster show today, talk about overwhelming. 5 halls full of beautiful cars.

    I took this photo for Greg of a big dollar Dodge Challenger, proof that tartan interiors are the next big thing :)

    Eric Clapton's new hotrod. He paid a lot of money for a freshly built car that's been made to look like a barn find, also very fashionable now.

    Looks like the thugs needed to move the timber another 12" rearward to locate the balance point for all axles off the ground. Obviously, those guys don't know squat about C8s!

    Nice Australia Day country pub lunch with the local classic car club today - enjoyment factor significantly increased by the arrival of this little gem: was owned by a gentleman in Sydney for many years, now at home here in Qld.

    I think he was asking about the silver roadster. Looks a bit like an Allard to me. Can anybody confirm?
