    That is what a proper bmw race car should sound like. Heavenly.

    I had an ‘84 in black way back when… the most fun 115hp can give.
    Bombproof driveline right there, as long as you could keep the door handles working.

    HRE rally style wheels (that look like they’ll fit a variety of Eurowagons and your run of the mill Dakar - and likely cost as much lol)

    The Dakar is the only one worth a damn in my opinion since it's actually got the chops and the heritage for some off-roading. The Lambo seems unserious, but fun and I have no clue what to make of this Maser.

    I went to the McLaren dealer in London as a high schooler back in the 90s with my dad and brother, when all they had was a single F1. It’s still one of my favorite memories of that trip, despite being treated like shit from the moment we walked in.

    Gotta admit, that stuff is all lost on me. Feels like how my brother in law still has a snickers bar from 1975 in his mother's basement freezer.

    I had a couple of things from the day I graduated High School in my parents overflow freezer for years. When my brother burned the house down they replaced the freezer and mom asked me what the fuck some of that stuff was. There were Twinkies, a Big Mac and a few other things that silly 17 year old me thought might be cool at some point.

    The one opposite Hyde Park? The black F1 was on display for quite a long time there. They had the engine bay cover open one day so I walked in just to see the gold heat shielding.

    I saw an F1 down in Naples. One of the few redeeming qualities of that part of Florida is the Rev car museum.
    Badass. First and only one I have ever seen.Click image for larger version.

    Yes, that one. They had the silver one when we went in, doors open.

    “Can we sit in it?”
    “No.”
    “Can we stand close enough to it that we’d appear in the same photo?”
    Huffing and annoyed grumbling…

    So clean and simple. Look at pic 14, there's one thing that's important and that's all the information were putting in front of you https://www.facebook.com/share/zKhqP...ibextid=kL3p88

    I'm all for people collecting cars, but yeah, this feels like hoarding. Who the hell wants an original Caravan even in a manual? No offense GL, of course.

    I've seen that one; what a timeless design and car. Loved that Rowan Atkinson drove (and wrecked x2) the ever loving shit out of his. Kind of opposite of the hoarder above.

    I've got an old law school friend who has a fairly big online presence and he's been posting about the process of buying and getting to know/track a new McLaren 675 Spyder. I get absolutely zero movement down there looking at it as compared to the F1. Soulless, flashy machine that is probably incredible to drive but indistinguishable from the rest of the lineup and more at home with the Lambo section of the cars and coffee event. YMMV.
