N,
The Ferrari 250 was ok, but I prefer the 265GT. Based on your criteria on the other post, my top 5 in no particular order
would be:
Ford Sierra Cosworth Ford Falcon GTHO Series
Ford GT40
Lancia Delta Integrale S4 (Group B spec)
Ferrari 256GT (although on no track pedigree to speak of)
As you can probably tell I'm a fan of the blue oval so that may prejudice my list ;-)
Well, I was going to add Rolls Royce Silver Ghost ("like the one at
Southwoods"), but when I google'd to find out what year that'd be, I
came across this http://www.classic-british-cars.com/rolls-royce-pictures-1.html
and check out the '1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom' 6 up from the bottom, damn!
Gotta add the AC Cobra, and a personal choice'd be a 69ish Stingray.
The gull-wing Mercedes (also at Southwoods) is also a fave. And mebbe an e-type Jag.
But these mostly avoid the sporting history criteria, so I'll add the '74 Hillman Hunter Estate.
1/ The technical significance
- Almost a complete lack thereof. Allowed someone like me with
2 left spanners to keep it running.2/ Design/Looks/Girl or Boy pulling potential
- 1 wife (I blame the car, she blames the fact that
I looked like I was going to be a rich
computer programmer)3/ Sporting history
- Umm, yeah, well. They don't even go very well in demolition
derby's (not speaking from personal experience tho'). And
the Estate would get spanked by the saloon and that'd get
spanked by the later ones with aluminium heads.4/ Performance
- Bad enough to keep me alive when I wrung it out;)
0-100 would be about a minute - once it hit 80 acceleration
was minimal ;)Cheers, Kurt. _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic
