If money were no object, what vintage car (of any era) would you most want to race/rally?
I would love to race an ex-Le Mans Ferrari GTO at the Goodwood revival. I’m sure it would be an experience that would stay with me for life.

I missed the chance to ride along in an Arial Atom today.
Bummer.
I am of the opinion that Ferrari stopped being Ferrari after the F40. Nothing they’ve produced since then is of enough significance to warrant the name.
Counterpoint: neither is Porsche the same company since 993 production ended.
Counter-counterpoint: Drive a 996 GT3 and see if your tune changes.
Aye, I’ve only flogged a base 996 Carrera and 997 Turbo - but found them pretty compelling performers.
Counter-counter-counterpoint: the F430 is delightful to push on track and the 360 Modena is by far the most responsive car I’ve ever had the pleasure of sliding through cones. I can only imagine how impressive a 458 Italia would be to drive on the limit.

“See, your little hot rod machine out in that barn, surrounded by the tools that formed it and the ones that maintain it, is a kind of calling card. A rolling scrapbook of where you been. Your auto-biography. Rock chips, springs stickin’ out of the seat, uneven wear on a tar, little slop in something or other…..attests to a journey. Lots of journeys.”

Nice job! The Typo 33 is belissimo - I got to see one up close at Goodwood. But I’m still in the Ferrari 250 camp. I *so* love the GTO.
