Ok, to play along you must provide a photo. Here is my first one...

AAR Eagle T1G F1 car from 1967 using the Weslake 3.0L V12

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

Ok, no bias here.....

Non Porsche

Image

I'm in Germany at the moment, here what I'm driving. This car as nice features, the strangest one is the steering wheel....the center section doesn't turn, it is fix. Disconcerting at the beginning but not that bad after all. It had only 10km (6 miles) when I pick it up last Saturday. I'm going to the Nurburgring this weekend I'm hoping for no rain this time. Got a car reserve with them again: http://www.rent-racecar.de/gb/
The Porsche was already reserved so I went with the TT again. They added some new cars since I reserved, will see if some of them are available for Sunday.

I will get my Porsche favorites out of the way. Patrice has already hit the 911 (with a nice choice on the RS). I like his 906, but like the 904 better...

So hard to pick which 917, so here are three short tails. Classic "Gulf" colors, the "Hippie" car and Martini & Rossi

We will tell you to stop when you start posting ugly cars!

I guess we should try to not duplicate cars that have already been posted.

The new Skyline just about got you banned! But the 962 saved you. ;)

No 240z???
