Root Bear posted:The first time I let out the clutch a little too quickly on the incline coming up the rack, When I was trying (and initially, failing miserably) to learn to drive stick at 16, my dad regaled / beat into my head stories of how when he was ~10, he was driving tractors and how if you let the clutch out on one too quick, you'd backflip and kill yourself. Sometime later, I found a copy of Stand On It that my grandpa had given my dad as a gift, inscribed "To the fastest tractor driver in the world". So I suspect he may have taken some liberties in his youth with just how fast one could get away with launching a tractor while not dying

I guess it's like grey Fergies over here in that sense.

Really blows my mind that something like an F40 could ever get into a state where it needs a full on restoration. I would have thought that as soon as its racing days were over some collector would snatch it up and baby the gently caress out of it.

VikingSkull posted:It sounds weird but old race cars were still just trash until like the late 90's. This. It's an old race car that never won anything and is too messed with to pretend to be a road car without a lot of work. "Well, I'll lose money if I sell it so I'll just hang on to it for now..." Oh yeah, and privateer grade LMP-1 stuff is definitely in private hands - or at any rate I've seen it for sale, and there's a lot of P900 or WSC/GTP stuff out at vintage races.

And that's before you get to the fact that spare parts just don't exist for some of them, or that some parts of the car might not even be sold with the car because the team doesn't actually own them.

Let me refer you all to these two excellent threads on Pistonheads: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=228&t=1357504 http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=1626807&r=34437925&hm=348080&mid=348080#34437925

Those things were an instant legend whether or not they won any races because of the whole 200 mph thing. Though based on the photo dump this one was a very badly abused F40, I guess even for a Ferrari there's a point where people go looking for easier targets.

I followed that guys restoration on some forum and really wished I could work at the sho that does that level of restoration work. Amazingly good work for one off carbon parts

The people in the F40 market are looking for something they can drive on the street that doesn't have pragmatically hacked together stuff on it, while most vintage racers would say that, well, it never won anything and there's not really anywhere to race it so who cares?

You have to also realize that a lot of those top shelf race cars still have very expensive consumables. It's not like you're dealing with an old SCCA IT7.

Saw this in the Algarve, Portugal. Stood out to me because I dont see old landcruisers in Scotland, and most other older vehicles in this country either have blown clearcoats, bashed to gently caress or both.
