    I saw some 250 gtos, P2s, sprites, porsches, MGs driving on public roads. Tires squealing, back ends coming out, Sicilians high fiving each other while the Ferrari's went by. The drivers were so GQ, gentlemen racers all of them. Not like the drivers of today who look like aliens with their fire suits and large helmets. The drivers of today are so geeky; they look more like video game nerds than gentlemen racers. The exhuast notes of the cars were so intense, better than the enzos and cgts of today. Wow, you old timers had it made.

    Hi
    What event did you see? I'm taking my P 3/4 0846 and my 166s 002C to the Historic Targa next June 6th.

    I think it was the 1965 Targa Florio.

    Are you talking about the recent coverage of it on Legends of Motorsport?
