The Cal-look Lounge

i wanted to see what the one car you want to drive for one day. say it would be possible to make it happen. but, just one, think of winning the lottery and having to spend it in one day. i know a few come to mind and it will be a consensus or maybe not, maybe there is just one that makes the cut.


for me it would be the raceshop slalom car, if it runs as good as it looks it would be a very memorable day.

IP1 of course  ;)

Easy  Doc Brown's Delorean , then I'd zip back buy up all the cool missing old gassers , lock em away and blow your minds tomorrow  ;)

 :D  :D :D...can´t beat that!

Penske/Sunoco 917/30 or the Porsche 917/20

Agreed-but it would have to be one of the 6 long tails designed by Pete Brock that Carroll Shelby made and not one of the many copies out there. and with the 4 48IDAs.

An alternative: The 427 SC (supercharged-only 2 made-one for Bill Cosby (later destroyed) and for Shelby himself).

Ha ha ha... Great subject! I have been so lucky to drive quite a lot of my dream cars through my old job in the historic race car scene. Many of them were as good, if not better than I ever imagined. Some were absolute letdowns, particularly the Italian cars. :(

My all time favourite I would love to drive would be a 60s Muira in Viper green. Oh yeah!

Well Nicolas basically said  "Money is no object" so it would have to be one of the original 6  ;)

Interesting choice... if you're going that route, why not the fully enclosed version.

Auto Union...Rick, I like your thinking.
That ones on my list.

this one

My GTV :'(

This is too easy. Anyone of the six Bugatti type 41 Royales, preferably the Kelner coach that was owned by Briggs Cunningham.
I had the pleasure of being at Pebble when all six were brought together, plus a recreation of the Esders roadster.
I can say for a fact, the spectators spoke in hushed tones as if in the presence of a Deity. Truly a once in a lifetime event.

If i could and i know............
 ;D

thought I was doing well when I saw the 2 together at the Schlumpf brothers museum but six that is something special  :o

Ahhh, 917-001.....the vip "taxi" in the Museum

I would prefer 917-023, the Porsche Salzburg LeMans winning #23 now located in in Texas

Here we go:

Dang! The battery is dead!

 :D

Me too

is this the 65 or 66 car in Italy?

This one, but I'd add Nitrous.

LOL! I think Jeff does a good job WITHOUT the gas!  :o  ;D

Ted

Why? Because then it would be ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS! LOL
TxT

This would be fun :o

...or maybe this  ;D

Yup! Gotta agree, would be a REALLY crazy car.  ;D

Ted

YES, this would also be an OUTSTANDING choice!

How about something like THIS?

No brainer for a guy whose name is "Bruce Wayne" Frye :D...

this one

or maybe this  ;D

sorry couldn't decide

From what I understand the '65 car (Prudhomme) and the '66 car (Snively) are the same, but with a lengthened chassis. I haven't been to Italy to see it yet, I makes me sad to see racecars sitting in a museum collecting dust... :(

Your choice (Greer Black Prudhomme) would be an option too  :)

Guys nice cars so far.

But for me it got to be.  ;D

I expect thats what we will be like in the NSU   ;D

You may see it on the side of the NSU.  ;)

this one  ;)

Ok been thinking hard about what car I would really have.
It has to be this one for sure.
I remember the first time I saw the car in the Gimme All Your Lovin' video back in 83.

This Fuel Coupe is awesome, I would love to have a drive, keeping it out of the wall might be a challenge though  8)

I have actually driven that one!!  ;D ;D
Well, it didn't have a motor in it, but I was at Bergs sometime around 2002 (18 years old) and the second building was open, so I was starring at it and Clyde was moving stuff around and asked me to jump it and steer for him so he could move it outside.  I jumped right in, looking around feeling at home!! It took me an extra couple seconds to get out once we were done and ill never forget it.  Especially since I had pictures of it on my walls at home and was doing everything I could (afford) to make my car look like theirs.

1953/54 Porsche 550 prototype.  (550-004)

No we`re talking!

But I would probably sell it if someone offered me a nice Miura.
