A "Must-Share" with everyone in the phonebook! Wow.

If they had to lose it, I'm thrilled they let it go to an Aston Martin.

The on-coming ($4M) Ferrari 250GT LWB TdF drifting thru the hard left in Slo-Mo stopped my heart and put tears in my eyes. I'm so thankful I lived in that era to see it happen in person.

I thought of Colin The Elder throughout this video, smiling.

Someday I'll own a Lister Jag, a front engine '60s Ferrari 250, a Maserati 3500GT and an A6G, and one 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT. Until then, I'm staying right here. 8)

Hah! Good call Frank! It just so happens that the Elder Colin sent me the following video a few weeks back of this b@llsy guy hammering a GT-40 around Goodwood in the rain at the Revival:

Keep your foot in it!

One of these years I hope the 2 Colins can make it to the Revival...

:shock: I can only imagine what the other drivers must have been yelling as he passed them at those speeds on what was only a little better than ICE.

I'll bet Brack wakes up sweating (and screaming) from some pretty nasty nightmares each night, and finds himself stomping on 'brakes' which don't do anything, and desperately swinging imaginary steering wheels.

My folks yelled at me each time I drove our 1959 Chevy stationwagon like that. :lol:

Well if we ever get to Goodwood with a Z I would have the appropriate early 70"s luggage. Not quite Ferrari style fitted luggage !

That's because you're rich.
My wardrobe would be far simpler, and fit on the driver's seat.

Yes, I would drive Goodwood naked. Proudly.

Frank, I had all that stuff on the front seat, I would be a little more modest and wear my kilt!
