I would say, one sold for almost $40 million a few years back. This one was beautiful and I am guessing it was original judging from whose building it was going into. It was incredible.

A bit of a drift, I saw these at a vintage travel trailer exhibit at the car museum in Sacramento a couple of years ago. Lots of style...

Apologies, I never can seem to get my pix in the correct orientation.

There's also a Ferrari F12 TDF in back and a Ferrari 333SP in the foreground. Can't place my finger on the 50s racing car.

One sunny morning, years ago, I was riding into the office at 6am to prep a long day of work. A DB5 crossed in front of me well up the street, there one moment and gone the next. Exotic enough for me.

Good to know that American gear-heads aren't the only ones into wretched excess.

Paceline, the kind of place where Jay Leno would be a fashionista.

Austin Healey Sprite

Seen parked at our hotel outside Sorrento. I looked around for a 60’s movie star to get behind the wheel and go for a spin along the Amalfi coast.

Those aren't cars. Those are low flying airplanes. A car is driven by its wheels, and these are not.

Originally, jet 'cars' were not allowed to compete for land speed records. A separate category had to be created for them, and they now compete in a separate category for non-wheel powered vehicles.
