Great pics, thx for posting.

I'm not sure I'd want to be sitting in one of those collectible cars pointed the wrong way on a busy track .

Great pics!

I always love watching the classics out on the track or street rather than just sitting in a museum. I'm jealous that you're so close to that historic track

Second from the last pic -- pink Porsche? Maybe I'm going color blind or even delusional, but is that a pig on top of the cab?

yes it is! They copy the race car (was it a917?) which was painteed pink with all the different meat cut marked on the car.

I'm looking for pics of that 917, but here below is the 911



ok I found some pics of the 917. Sorry for the poor quality:




even better, heres' a video:

This is one of the best picture threads I've seen. Thanks very much for sharing.

My new wall paper is the GT40 and the 'Vette.

Great shot of the white 908/3: think there were approx 9 made, but could be wrong. Saw one in Gulf colours at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which each year celebrates racing cars over the last 3 centuries.
