I don't know about 'cool', but I've definitely driven some neat cars. The highlight would probably be a one-off 1933 BMW hill-climb car that came through the shop years ago. It was red and had a 1.3L 6, iirc. For the engine rebuild, motorcycle pistons were sourced (as I recall..). My memory is either fading, or maybe I don't care about much other than my cars these days, ha. Recent cool cars include the F02 Alpina B7, MX5, and 993 Turbo S (1 of 181). I drove a 993 GT2 racer at the last job too.
Here's a picture of those two with an S54 on a pallet between them. The 993 went from Red Bull livery to Flying Lizard livery--
The coolest car I've ever driven has to be the black with red interior Ferrari Enzo.
I drove it out of the garage bay and into a parking spot, but hey, I did drive it!:pimp:
As the senior valet at work, I get to drive every nice cars that come to the hotel. I get drive the expensive cars because of the insurance policy.... The nicest car I got to drive was a custom built Ford 1933 hot rod (with flames straight pipe and all)
But driving those car around the block to the parking ain't exactly a test drive...you get to sit in the car and that's pretty much it...
Haha, I have a huge list on my phone of all the cars that I have been in... it keeps growing, but we have a few cars coming in soon ( new lambo ) and a few race cars I'm excited to see. I'll make sure to post more later on
My dad's 63 Ghia. I grew up watching this car being built from the ground up and then it was tucked away untouched for years. Then when I was "worthy" I got to pull it out and rebuilt the carbs and got it started. This car is crazy fast, h/c 2110 cc, 911 fan conversion and some weber 48 idf. It scared the shit out of me the first time I really pushed it. Anywho here it is (interior is very 90's tastic):
hmmm - I've been lucky, there have been so many neat cars that i've driven. A few that I can remember.
Ferrari - Testarossa, 512TR, F430, 355 Spyder, 360 Modena and 250GTO SWB (My dream car) and a Dino if that counts.
