Most motor racing folk look back to their favourite eras from time to time because we have brains that store memories. Like all 'disciplines' motor sport, in all its forms, has gone through highs and lows, but even during troughs, we can often reflect on something that has been stored in our minds with affection.
As usual your views and images will always be of great interest. And thanks.
It’s the landing I’d worry about - note the shift lever between airborne Dan and the driver’s seat.
And for touring there were driving moccasins with rubber nibs on the soles.
An excellent nostalgic film on the 300SLR. Thanks. Lucky those cops didn't pull him in for having no front number plate though.
It looked like John Watson driving.
I always loved the sound of straight 8's. V8's are wonderful but we hear them all the time now. No one will ever build a new (car) straight 8 again for a lot of technical reasons. A long distant memory was of a British dragster at one of the very first Santa Pod meetings which was powered by an alcohol burning straight 8 Buick. It sounded terrific, but the engine would have been more suitable as a boat anchor.
