Hello McLaren, nice pictures. Do you know who the driver is/was on your last picture

the first one was Ronnie Peterson, cause he always had that helmet..and since i´m from sweden i have a soft spot for him. though I like all drivers from that time. And i find pictures like that interesting cause they all have a story to tell

may sound lame....i know...still

And Alfetta I have tried to find pictures of the Lotus 49 but havn´t managed too, if you have any it would be great if you could post one or..two

McLaren: thank you for the information and the link...lot´s fo info.

John: great that you could sort out who the driver was in McLarens last picture, Gunnar Nillson..hmmm..died one year after ronnie was killed at Monza, talk about bad luck..had they lived then i´m certain that Ronnie would have won the championchip..at least once. He was the fastest driver at that time..though a little bit ruff at the edges. Gunnar is a bit more diffucult to make a qualifed guess about..anyway..two persons that I recond was well liked.

Sorry if i got of the topic a bit.

Would be fun if more of you could post some pictures of cars that you find most beautful or intersting.

( oops sorry missed the 2 latest post´s, to slow in my typing

)

Hello there McLaren

Well the car on your last picture is a (Brabham BMW BT52) Year:1983 and was driven by Nelson Piquet.

When it comes to the Ferrari i really have no idea.

Last but not least....big pictures are nice..more that meets the eye...oops being lame again

I second that McLaren

And Screwneck....the Lotus 78 is known as the "Black Beauty" and not known as the "roadkill duck-billed platypuses". Just wanted to let you know.

Ecurie Martini.. I agree with you on the fact that most cars today look about the same..and that´s to bad. But i have also said in a post a while ago that i prefer older cars, and that is still true. However the cars in the 70´s still didn´t look the same as the cars do today. And when it comes to the Lotus 78 I think that that car is the best compromise between the old and the new. One more thing, you stated that "regulations have conspired to make most current cars fall into a narrow range of size and shape"..that was the case back in the 50´s aswell. They also had the "same" look. One must compere each car in its own time and with its own rivals at that time, i think. And if one do so...they look...the "same". But if you compere the cars in the 50´s with the cars in the 70´s...thats diffrent and in a way more correct.

Hello David L

Maybe the question should had ben the best F1 car since good looks are so subjective, had an "argument" with Ecurie Martini about what looks good and what don´t...maybe I missunderstood the man..if so..sorry mate. Well from one thing to another...David..I was woundering if you have worked some more on your track now when you have finished your "house" ?. Hope you don´t mind me asking, just interested thats all.

cheers
Eric
