now as far i can recall it, this white porsche was also used in of the cartoon, in which car transformed to a guy... i am talking some where in mid 80's. btw what kind of car you drive? i am sure after test driving exotics you probably wont feel like driving your own car lol

Hmm...don't recall that cartoon.

A lot of you are interested in knowing what car I drive and i've answered this question numerous times before. I drive a 2000 Honda Accord 4-cyl with 5-speed manual. I can assure that i've never felt bad driving my car. You see...I drive these exotics because I have a passion and understanding for these cars, not just because they're expensive or whatnot. It's all a learning experience for me.

Was the Ferrari fuel injected? I bet it sounded awesome.
Great pics of the 906 as well. BTW did you get more pictures of the 911 Carrera RS's next to it?

The Ferrari looks like it has carbs, the inlets are covered by the airbox. I don't have any pics of the RS...I might have taken pics of it at prevous CnC.

Wow sirjee wow!! Great up but frankly speaking I am too young to know any of them!! But great you mentioned the name of the Porsche which is 906 but I think you forgot to write the name of Ferrari?! Which in particular is it?!

And it will be better if you & sami bhai start on the cars so in that process we all can learn few about the antique cars.

These pics are right up my alley! Old racers are always cool to look at, and hear as well if you get the chance!

Did you hear the 365 running? It must be deafening as I see no silencers...

I'm not too sure about the canards on the Ferrari, the 300SL had the same thing, but in a horizontal plane above the wheel arches to separate air flow below and above the arches. I suspect the vertical canards might help in high speed turns?

Here's a bit of info about Philip Toll Hill Jr. for those who aren't into old race car drivers:

About the Porsche, I saw a 904 at the Le Mans automotive museum las weekend, I'll post up some pics of that soon as well. Just getting back down from the 30+ hour high over the weekend :P.

The tail section of the 904 looks like a Kamm Tail as found on the GT40, the Daytona Coupe and a lot of Ferrari's of the day. It was a classic case of aerodynamics seeming completely unintuitive. The Kamm Tail is still used in a lot ot modern cars, Hybrids most notably.

I'll keep an eye on this thread (if I can get updates that is, the post alert notification thing doesn't work too well yet.)

Cheers bro'!

I did hear the 365 running a few times, it was loud but not deafening.

I want to see all of your pics from Le Mans. I'm sure you were a bit ecstatic about the Peugeot win:D.

Ooooh Yeah! It was 3 years coming man! And the team seemed to be better prepared than the Audi camp, who were having troubles like they've never had before. Their cooling systems were getting clogged with dust and muck and the car had to be "blown out" each time they pitted. Combined with the new rule changes this year, their pit stops were literally like picnics compared to the opposition. Still, Audi DID clinch 3rd place.

I was rooting for the Pratt and Miller team with their C6-Rs and until the very end of the race, they were running 1-2 in the GT1 class. Unfortunately, one of them had transmission problems towards the end and 2nd place went to another C6-R run by Alphand Aventures.

Here are the timings:

I've reformated my photos and uploaded my videos to Youtube. A post should be coming soon

Cheers!
