The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T(Vol XVIII)

Exactly.

Time behind the wheel of that car must be taken into account

Time behind the wheel of any race car must be taken into account

Was it his NSX or was he a guest driver racing car for it's owner, must be taken into account

Was he pushing for a win, or was he there as a Club Racer ie for a good time rather than trying be the next Rosberg

As infinitum

Talking of race cars, I had a look around this in my local automotive emporium this week.



Having checked my pockets I don't appear to have the POA required to indulge in a track only toy.

If you're a Ferrari fan, that's some stock list they have!

They've also got some tasty Dancing Donkey just littering the showroom, apparently not for sale.

My favourite this week is the blue 512BB, just like this one.

I've never come to terms with that rear quarter, arch gap etc.

An E46M is a stonking road car in the context of covering all the bases. Amazingly capable all-rounder and as a practical daily performance car it's got to be near the top of the pile IMO - perhaps the B7 RS4 Avant shades it because of the addition of 4WD and the load space.

If you take the need for four seats out of the equation then you can do away with the compromise and get more focused. At that point the NSX is a significant step up. I had to sell to finance other things - in hindsight not the best decision I've ever made.

There was a white one running in the Endurance Legends at Silverstone, it was dead last and not going very quickly, a red one at Le Mans in the Endurance Legends looked very sorted.

The 3.8 RS but sadly complete unobtanium now, but I'd love a Esprit sport 300 and I think I saw one last year for about £65k, in context of NSX R's etc. a bargin

[L100NYY]

Sport 300 really is a very very desirable thing

[L100NYY]

eta

I really fancy an Esprit V8 or GT3 or S4S........

[Crook]

It was definitely an article on the 964 RS. Re 3.8 RSs, saw one in metallic burgundy at a festival of speed many many years ago and it was the first time I’d ever seen one. So so lovely.

Anyway will check the loft for the magazine, you never know...

Also those Venturi GT400s do look great don’t they?

Edit: too many rs

Just found a copy of that October 1993 issue of Car which covers the 3.8RS on eBay, so thanks for that!

I'll read it when it's too wet to drive the actual thing!

I'm not quite sure how you can get 7300 kms on an unregistered car, but I like it none the less

[Crook]

Yes pretty much all of that.

[Chris Stott]

I wouldn’t give you the steam off my piss for most modern Ferrari’s*, but old ones are ace, and that 275 is just achingly beautiful.

• 550, F40, 288GTO are exceptions.
