    On this hollowed ground, how many Rallies does this make for you now?

    Any of the F-Sisters in your care not made the trip back home yet?

    She's really great in the mountains. She has hill climb gearing and enough cooling so even on a hot day she was fine. We're fine tuning a few things we learned from the trip at PF and she will be good to come home this fall.

    Having Jesse Pilot Her through those roads was very special.

    Jim,
    Thanks for sharing. I am continually amazed at how beautiful the Dino is.
    Cheers!

    Fantastic!

    For me, the Targa Florio is immortalised by that Brian Redman interview during a 1970 (?) practice session, thundering through that village. Just crazy stuff. So it's great to see the cars of old down there again. Your Dino must look and sound fantastic on those roads, Jim. Enjoy it.

    You are an inspiration to us all. These cars should be driven, preferably hard or at least hardish, not to be left sitting in some museum, garage/shed. Thanks for sharing. At least we can vicariously share in your pleasure. Please post some photos and hopefully one day I can join you on a drive.
    Thanks again.
    John

    I just saw these photos of a very nice resin Japanese model of the Dino by Hirossi.JP in 1/24th scale. I remember seeing the "racing version"(in the background) model kits of this car in model form back in the 1980's. Kind of funny what the plastic model companies would think up back then.

    I know it is a concept car. But i tried the model manufacturer, and they didn't even come up on google. Which does surprise me! ;)

    By the way, google is not very good with Japanese websites.
