I know these aren't circuit racers, but you never said I had to choose one that goes round corners...

Big Daddy's cars?  You know what - I'm 29, and I love the look of these bad boys.
I'm sure my old man has some Cine film that I transferred to video somewhere - it's awesome - Will ask the old man to dig it out.

If you ever get the chance, The Don Garlits museum near (ish) to daytona is well worth a trip - even if it did take us 4 hours to get there when we drove from Kissimie......Didn't it Dad!?!

Lotus XI, but only if I could be remade in 5/6ths scale.......... Otherwise I'd look a bit like a bear riding in a childs car.
If I had all the money I've ever spent on drink, I think on balance, I'd probably spend it on drink.

Don't think so,if you made me any bigger I'd look like Boris Karloff sitting in a shoe.

I went to the Don Garlits Museum on one of my trips to Sebring.

Yes I will dig out the video and try and get it on to Youtube, I seem to remember sending you a copy Steve. 4 hours?, seem to remember we did the Garlits Museum, Daytona Speedway and then the Kissamee Drag Strip in the evening, great day.

Rally: Stratos or
A110 Alpine

LM car: P3 for me please or
BMW M1

F1: Alesi's canadian gp winning car

Better stop there, i could probably add another 50 cars !

Termietermite and I agreed years ago (a rare thing in itself!) that the Ferrari 250LM is just about the finest racing car ever, so I'm sure we'd want to own the one that won LM in 1965 with Rindt & Gregory on board. Termietermite has, of course, had her head a bit turned by those Saleens, and getting her Saleen hat personally signed by Steve Saleen at scrutineering a few years back was pretty mega - but I'm sure it'll pass.....

With any leftover change I would like the Saleen that was class winner at LM last year.

In its former Oreca livery with Ayari still in the driving seat please. :P
