    A couple cool cars

    I was looking through the pictures I have on photobucket and found some I took at the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance a couple of years ago.

    Hope you like

    2 litre Alfa V8



    275 GTO



    Sterling Moss Mille Miglia winning 300SL. Cool exhaust and transporter



    Ferrari # 1 (I'm not kidding, and no the factory doesn't own it)



    Another F-car in a trailer. I know nothing about it (it did have Pan-Americana Mexico hand painted on the side of it)




    And for something different-
    Turn 6 at Spokane. Jen trying keep up with a couple of GT's

    I have seen one of those Ford GT's in person. They are fucking HUGE. But also very bad ass.

      Dear god, I shudder to think what that car is worth. A bit surprising the factory doesn't own it either - that's a museum piece. Very impressive indeed.

        I've seen and heard a 750rwhp GT and basically all time and sound stopped for him as he laid on the pedal and the hand of god was thrust down upon us. I have never heard anything meaner sounding than that car, and I've heard many a car....lol.

          Jon - The factory wanted it, but the owner wouldn't sell so they made a replica of it. The owner does drive it - he passed me on 17 mile loop doing a 100 +.

              Nice pics, thanks for sharing. The hauler for that the 300SL is on is amazing.

                  Wow!!!! Anyone know what it's worth? What did the factory offer him? 5 million? 10 million?

                    What's the bore and stroke of a two liter V8:crazy: Didn't Ferrari have 3 liter V12's?

                    Gawd that must sound beautiful.

                          I talked to the owner (he is on the left) and a huge camera crew showed up later. I have no reason to believe it isn't #1. The weekend of the Concours is just plain crazy. Name a car and it was down there. We drag raced an Enzo just for fun in our rental Exploder - we owned him for the first 6 1/2 inches off the line.
                          I'll be returning next year. (taking a Bentley Speed 6)

                          I have a ton of pictures. Let me dig some more up.

                          And for small motors - how about a late 30's BRM 1.5 litre V16 grand Prix car. 14,000 RPM in the 30's. Holy...

                              Would love to see more pictures, there is a debat if that is number 1. If you look in the ultimate garages books you will see a ridiculous house and another #1 Ferrari.
