That was awesome.  Not sure if I need to go for a drive or take a cold shower...

Anywhere, really. But to single out one area: Ireland.

Mike Rowe’s podcast, and old Car Talk episodes for any road trip.

Nice. Unsurprising, but still nice. I did snag a Blipshirt GT40 shirt, Gulf livery and all, a few years back. 

My Bondurant shirt with the track on the back. Bought it from the store after my first drive there. Now that Bondurant has been renamed, it is even more treasured by me.

Great story. It really is a magical place. Drove out from WA state in 2019 and was able to take a few laps of lead-follow at the Glen. Spent the night there and really enjoyed the town. Great racing culture; the Seneca Lodge, checkered flag cross walks, race car street signs, etc.
