    its amazing how simple she is, like it really comes across that barchetta does mean small boat with these, and it really seems to be designed with that in mind, like a simple metal construction over english wheel, shaped kinda like a Canoe, basic gauges, dials, and nothing that doesnt need to be there is in there
    like purity refined in an automobile, and thanks for keeping the bumpers on, that Pillock that owns James Coburn's has taken the bumpers off and stapled a Fer 1 plate on it like an idiot
    and to think the BBC paid that guy 23 million quid per year
    also that rome plate, this isnt the survivor car with the french headlamps and the rome plate still on it that got solid a few years ago is it?
    as if it is you guys did a nice job with the paint and preserving its look as a geniune 250

    Cars are interesting. No other product has an aftermarket of classic builds. There's not a line for a classic 1959 RCA black and white console television with original rabbit ears. Or a classic 1959 Frigidaire, with original ice trays. No rich people are taking calls on an original Western Electric rotary phone with a custom oversized hand set. I think these investment cars are slipping into the naked emperor/tulip/Enron category with the valuations.

    • @kavinskysmith4094
      @kavinskysmith4094 10 місяців тому

      Then stop voting blue and for the EU then, as Cobalt and its mining is doing far more damage to the earth that that thing ever did, and with all the electronics and the like, its basically going to be like living in a radiactive oven
      and less than a few months ago, the state of california asked people not to turn on their air conditioners as it kept frying the power grid, and the EU is the same way, given the only sustainable way to do it, is being shut down because of health concerns
      so the best way to deal with this, is synthetic fuels, natural gas and hydrogen, and we're living on 200 plus years of it under the united states
      hence why the left is making up any excuse to prevent people from using it

      That's how they are geared. Just like how the Honda S2000 screams. 4valve engines of that era make all that power on top 1/2 of the tach. FWIW. These cars like to have revs on them, and I hope all can agree it sounds like a symphony of automotive perfection! Love that old Ferrari v12 sound, daytona has it as well.
