Something is rotten in Denmark and it ain't Denmark!

I wish that Fiat would make a modern x19 with the EV power. Something, really small, lightweight and sporty looking. Perfect commuter vehicle as well as something to bring smiles to your face on the weekend.

Pirelli being bought out ChemChina? That would be like mixing lasagna with sweet and sour chicken. Both taste good, but must be eaten separately, never together.

Did someone mention Chaparral? I just woke up!

Speaking of losing, how about losing one of those ohs in loosing?

Hell hath indeed frozen over!

Amazing collection of photos from Kennedy to Obama. Basically, a 50+ year history lesson. Thank you for a most interesting article.

Great minds think alike!

No, the PC1 had a different monocoque than the PC3. Look at the sides of the cars and the rear air intakes. They are completely different. The PC3 was similar to the March 761 as raced in 1976.

I guess we were too busy invading Iraq to worry about that. And, I do believe that Libya gave up its nuclear program and North Korea was trembling, but you can see where I am going with this. I have no love for George Bush, but alongside our current Prez, he looks like Washington or Lincoln, which only shows how

Mate, I have seen both Penske versions race in person. The PC3 had a rounded front nose and splitter, which was similar to what March was using. The PC1 had a shovel, wedge shaped nose. Also, take a look at the side of the monocoques. The PC1 has a different shaped rear intake than does the PC3. which is flush with

Those Silk Cut Jaguars are among the most beautiful cars visually as well as audibly that have ever participated at LeMans. Tom Walkinshaw ran a great team and their battles with Porsche and later Mercedes. Both the Group C and IMSA teams made racing so enjoyable back in the day. Even after about 25 years, they still

Mate, the PC3 was used in the 1976 season, not 1975. Mark Donohue raced a PC1 in 1975 before his tragic death at the Austrian GP. The picture you are showing is a PC1 as raced in 1975.

Given our current administration, I am not sure any country in the world could expect our help whether it be Romania, South Korea, Ukraine or Israel. As for Russia, I am not at all comfortable with the direction Mr. Putin is taking Russia on. He poses a direct threat to the Baltic states as well as countries like

C'mon, given the parameters he set out and when the car was designed, this was about the best power available N/A at the time. BMW met Gordon's expectations and then some. Name one other car from that time period that was making the same power.

Gordon Murray tried to give owners the feeling that one would get in a formula car. The diminutive size alone along with the lack of avoirdupois and the svelte lines put this car into the automotive hall of fame. As you said, emissions and crash regulations will rule out ever seeing a car like this again unless a

I salute you and Romania, regardless of the fighters they are now using. Romania is one of those countries that would stand to lose greatly if Russia ever decided to re-establish the former Soviet Union. Hopefully, the Romanian Air Force will upgrade more in the future besides the F16s like as you mentioned, the

Well, as far as I am concerned, what is on TV this weekend is Sebring. Then, there is Sebring. And finally, Sebring. Nothing else matters.

In my mind, the McLaren F1 BMW V12 is still the best production car ever made. The reason I feel so is because Gordon Murray, who was one of the greatest F1 designers ever, made the car as light as possible and as powerful as powerful using an N/A engine. Better still, the center driving position with offset seats for

For a moment, I felt like we were back to circa 1960s during the Viet Nam war.
