WOW, what a wonderful site G, thanks for the link. Do you follow the tag to the home page and see all the great photos? This guy really leads the life!

As for diecast, I think we only share two cars the same, but I found a whole lot I would like to own from his collection!

This sounds horrible, but I would gladly watch any or all of my personal cars get crushed if I could have just one of those amazing cars in 1:1. To me that type of car is BY FAR the sexiest and ballsiest type of car ever.
In the early eighties I had a chance to buy a Deutsch Bonnett Panhard like the red '59 pictured for cheap money. Well, I didn't even have cheap money then...dang it!!!!

I believe the car listed as a '64 Iso Rivolta is really a Bizzarrini....anyone???

Those are great - when sports cars really had personality, not like the drivel they put out today. :cool:

That is a very cool site. I don't know much about racing history, but I do know that I have always liked the cars that are shown shown on that site. Makes me want my TR back. Can't get it though because the guy I sold it to lost control of it and "horse shoed" it around a tree. He's lucky he didn't kill himself.

Very informative! I'm finishing up on my 43rd American muscle/drag car collection so I've got some money "burning a hole in my pocket". I am going to start collecting 43rd American road race cars of the 60's (Chevy powered). :wave:
Thanx, Frank
