The awesome rare car thread

^^Curious why the Typhoon and not the Syclone?

Nevermind, I looked up the differences. I would quite enjoy one to tow a single seater with... :-D

:up: for thread revival!

How about this beast? Mercedes W196 grand prix car, the only one to have competed (successfully) in F1 with full fenders. Made famous by the unbelievable Juan Manuel Fangio.




Also, it's too bad the XJ13 (green one-off above) didn't make it into production; too much foot-dragging over at Jaguar.

How about a GMC Typhoon? The Typhoon was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 14.1 seconds at 95 mph (153 km/h). They made 4,700 of 'em in the early 90's.

One morning on the way to school I followed one of these for a bit, pretty cool to recognize one for the first time. I think I'd like to find one of these style blazers/jimmys instead of the more popular Jeep Cherokee, drop in a V8, and completely modernize the suspension and use as a hauler/tow vehicle... like I can afford a fraction of the things I want...

The owner of the BMW dealership here in Bend has a Henna M1. Used to be in their showroom, he's brought it to a few shows, actually brought it to our local euro club's Show 'n Shine a few years ago.

I loved my s10 blazer. So much so that I owned 3 more s10's. Love, love, love them.
