Doug Rogers 684 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Was fortunate to be working for Tickford Aston Martin at the 88 Le Mans, the atmosphere was amazing. The noise the big Jags made coming onto the Mulsanne straight was truly awesome. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jeepboy 168 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) So good to see the Skoda in the line up (before they became VW Audi ) Slightly partisan as when I was 18/19 I had a Skoda S110R Coupe. Wonderful little car. Edited November 20, 2018 by Jeepboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Vince1159 4,066 Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Has there ever been a sweeter sounding V6 than Alfa's..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My old Lancia Fulvia Coupé..a 1.3, V4 with twin Solex carbs.....that was niiiiiice......!!!! those were the days, and those were the cars.....Not a big Formula 1 fan, but I've always thought it all ended with Senna....

Edit: seeing as though we're talking about V's,might as well add Rovers V8... Edited December 21, 2018 by Vince1159 Link to post Share on other sites
Artie 1,949 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 specially if you compare them with current three cylinder, turbo engines, wich sound like sewing machines..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If we talk about V8, my father drives a '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9, a real beast in terms of torque.....everytime I drive it, I do it with the radio off, just to hear the engine....that's a simphony.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Vince1159 4,066 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I've just found this,it's in Italian and if you just want to watch the racing it's at about 8 and a half mins,i remember seeing these monsters racing and being craned in and out of the marina....The trucks and motorhomes they bought over with them were incredible....
