My boss took his old and new cars out to get some sun time...

 

Gorgeous early car!

 

A rare sighting of a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec II Nür, but no not in Midnight Purple (because this one's actually a wrap!):

 

Now that's a garage I would spend a LOT of time in!!!!

 

I was Lucky enough to have been shown around a private collection with arguably the most valuable car in the world..........this one!

 

A few shots from le Mondial de l'Automobile which took place in Paris early October.

 

Love the 250LM!

 

If i recall correctly it's a 275lm

 

don't tell me it's your garage... or is it?

 

The 250LM has a 3.3 litre engine so logically should have been a 275LM as some people refer to it. Ferrari insisted it be called 250LM for homologation reasons as a continuation of the 250GTO. Ferrari themselves never referred to this car as a 275LM.

 

All the benefits of a hardtop AND a convertible.

 

I forgot about that, i got fooled by the sign next to the car which stated it was a 275.

 

Lovely cars.

Try this video -- and wince at every gear change

 

I think it is safe to say that I could not drive that car for a number of reasons lol.
( still watching video as I type this....)

 

My main reason is that I can't get into my race suit any longer.

Oh, and that I don't own a 250/275LM. If I had that sort of money a 250SWB would come first.

Non synchro crash box.

Normal

 

I do think that anyone with an OMP race suit should be able to double-declutch to synchronise the engine & drivetrain revs and avoid the nasty crunch. Perhaps even heel-and-toe to do it while braking too.

I have driven a real crash box on a 1904 car: now that was a pig to change gear on with the hand throttle to try to match revs. Steered beautifully though. The 250LM would have dog engagement, not moving the actual gears.

 

Cheers from Italy.

Lancia Fulvia Zagato.

A friend of mine just bought it.

 

Because race car...
