Incredible stuff! The Elf Tyrell P34 looks like a miniature in the photo! These cars looked so much bigger on the track and on TV!

Its weird isn't it, the small wheels make the car look large but the car effectively looks like an old F1 car's rear end grafted to the front end of two go-kart's in person. This is Ben Collins who is my height of 6'2 in the driver's seat of another P34.

It really is a remarkable tiny little car compared to modern F1 cars.

One of the very few (current new) PORSCHEs I would buy.
If I had ALL the money, pretty sure that'd be my daily driver!

My band’s rehearsal space is above an auto repair shop. Most repairs are to large commercial vehicles and, heartbreakingly, damaged luxury cars driven by ego-fueled bozos with more money than brains.

Every now and then, however, they indulge in their own passion project.

Have had a few -- not the Dakar -- but I love them as driving machines; just not in love with the way they look.

Lamborghini Revuelto I spotted while driving through Lake Mead.

Was road tripping from Arizona to Montana in a Porsche 964 when I came across a convoy of rented supercars and a crashed Ferrari 296.

This used to be in my garage, but due to the constant rain here, I never drove it. Tinworm = enemy #1 for the coupes. Had 54k miles when I bought it in the early 2000s. Felt like an 80s 5-series, as it was solid (and automatic).
