This would probably be the coolest thing to ever show up at a trackday... until someone brought the Nissan R390 roadcar.

Are the doors hollow square section front-to-rear to pass air to the engine bay? Because that is cool as hell.

Yeah, I feel the same way, but then every rear end in a top hat comes out of the woodwork after every "Tax the Rich" video.

Im going to ask for this again, but previous mentions of it have gone unanswered.

A few years back I watched a show on Broadcast TV where Tiff Needell walked around a bunch of Ferraris and possibly test drove some of them and tried to decide which one he liked the most.

Most were classics like the Dino and 250GTO.

Youtube searches come up short, and I don't know what the program was called. I'm 90% sure it wasn't 5th gear.

Can anyone identify this show for me ?

This is quite possibly the only time a car video was improved with music in the background, goddamn that's fitting.

I remember a post about a company that was putting out Deloreans with one of the options being modern looking versions of the retro Delorean style rims on their cars. Does anyone have a link to this company if it still exists?

Well thats what you get when you tart up an econobox rather than make a clean-slate rally fighter

I think the TIMG looks like a Dodge Avenger

Ha, it's awesome because that's a Monaco plate. Hopefully it's owned by some retired rally driver who just drives it around the French riviera loving with people in Ferraris
