I like this thread. Really great pics.
I am visiting family in Calgary right now. Minus 30C is fun lol I don't have many rolling pics, on my laptop. With the demise of PB, it's about time I started adding a few more pics. My contribution (sorry for the size the photographer only shared this resolution) |

Great back story from Bruce Meyer on Enzo Ferrari and the genesis of Bizzarrini...

Nice! Good luck to your friends, TC.

Cool vid...

lol, up shifting at 230 mph.
Seems so effortless. I do wonder how quickly it can go from a dead stop to top speed though. I bet that would be exciting to watch. |

What a great pic --- the info is good too -- but that photo is bad ass....
Thanks T.C. ! |
Ouch that is going to hurt.
I got rear ended two weeks ago Karting ( i was stopped ) and my helmet hit the metal headrest so hard I saw stars and the fastest he could have been going when he hit me was 25. I can only imagine how bad both of these drivers felt after that crash. |

Nice !!

That looks good. Guess they got tired of Mercedes making all the stupid money from a luxury army vehicle and decided to get in on that action.
Still looks cool as hell, lol. |

Coolest build ever?
“I wanted to experience what they experienced, and I didn’t know any other way to do it except by trying to build a car like they had,” says Peter Giacobbi, builder and owner of this incredible 1959 Ferrari 250 TR recreation.
That’s right: recreation. A master fabricator, engineer, and builder, Giacobbi made this car in order to understand what his boyhood heroes like Juan Manuel Fangio and Graham Hill experienced when driving cars like the Ferrari 250 TR. His favorite design on any car ever, the project swung into high gear after finding a handmade aluminum body for a ’59 TR that had been sitting for decades. From there, Giacobbi began to figure out what he needed in order to complete the car. “I made everything look as close as possible…I copied the chassis, found the correct tail lights, had the instruments made…” “There are some things that are different from the original. It was impossible to find a good 3 litre motor, so I used a 4.4 and modified the aesthetics to look like the 250…” he says. He says that the car is very exciting, especially considering that it weighs 2,300 lbs and has 400 horsepower. “These cars are very hard to drive…It’s pure seat of the pants,” Giacobbi says. “I drive it as much as I can, I drive it down to the local coffee shop usually once or twice a week,” he says. But on any road—headed to any destination—his respect for racing greats is apparent, saying, “They’re not only heroes, they’re supermen to have driven at the high speeds for the distances they did is an absolute miracle.” |
Fake or not, that thing is sweet. I bet it's still worth a bunch of money, too. Sounded amazing.
Though he also totally missed an opportunity to put that body on a modern chassis. Could you imagine that thing sitting low to the ground with wide tires keeping the sound and the body the same? That, would be awesome. |
