The last 'THING' you would ever expect to see on this thread but iPhotos reminded me of this day in 2008 and my old Land Rover,

 

Nice Ferrari Monza for a Sunday morning

 

Italian goodies

 

From the whips and chains folder


Frazer-Nash at Shelsley Walsh hillclimb about 20 years ago

 

From the extremely curvaceous folder


More curves will be revealed later, or sooner if someone identifies it.

 

I'll take a guess - Triumph TR2?

 

Nope, TR2 would be on British "standard" 15" diameter, single row 48 spokes, steel rims and two-eared knock-ons. Not have ventilation holes in the brake drums either. In the right decade though

Think very much more curvaceous, and very very red.

 

Maybe one of the Ferrari 250/275 variants?

 

Ferrari 250 LM

 

Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada

 

OK, all y'all have worked out the country of origin. But you are not thinking of the curves.

 

Maserati 300S?

 

Counterpoint - more icelandic craziness



(Last One as we leave the island tomorrow)

 

It isn't pretty, but Chevy may have finally produced a world class sports car.

The C5 Z06 was the first Corvette you didn't have to make excuses for and they got better from there, but this should be on an entirely different level.

 

“Transmission” tunnel leaves me scratching my head. As does the ipad dash.

 

Built on a DeLorean (Lotus) "backbone" chassis?

 

Hate to say it but that car does nothing for me.
I'd rather have a C6 Z06 than that.
And use the left over money for go fast parts.

 

Big question is how much does the Z51 package cost - under 60 for the base car is great, but base Corvettes haven't been so great lately. I'd also want to know about the mid-level interior - if a 2LT Z51 can come in under 70k, it's going to be the deal of the century IMO. And I don't care much for Corvettes (that aren't built by Pratt & Miller)
