Thanks for that. Very cool.

Superb find, if maybe ever so slightly out of date!

Amazing! Thanks for the link. Nice microphone. Can you imagine if they were still stuck with that sort of thing today?

I can't even imagine what it would be like running 180mph in a D-Type.

Beautiful cars, BTW

That is so great, thanks for that.
Imagine racing cars like those on country roads.
Those guys had nuts.

I can only guess, ran an E type at 140, but 180 is a whole other ballgame.

And with other cars going as fast - and slower.

Nice reference at the very end to the previous year's unfortunate events...
