    May he rest in peace. Zagato cars are instantly identifiable, not an easy feat at all.

    Of course, my personal favorite. The Fulvia Zagato Competizione. The Lancia-Zagato experience, distilled.

    Thank you for one of the most understatedly graceful automobiles I've ever seen. The Flaminia Zagato.

    Fairwell, Mr. Zagato. You've left a lasting legacy of graceful and lustful automotive design. I hope that your influence will be felt in the world of coachbuilding for a long, long time.

    Domo arigato, Mr. Zagato.

    From the Jaguar XK140 Zagato Coupe to the Ferrari 250 GT Zagato to your many racing victories and innovations, you are truely an inspiration to the automotive world.

    May your journey into the afterlife be blessed with smoking tires and screaming V8's.

    I don't know if he had a hand in the design of the Fiat 8V but he certainly raced it. So many achingly beautiful cars came from that era and that design house.

    Was I the only person to read your last 3 platform variations as "Tourettes/Jessica/Rabbit"?


    On a lighter note, these vehicles have proved very popular on this side of the pond, and certainly look very smart in the metal. Haven't driven one, but my friend Amanda says that they cut the mustard. So to speak.

    Wow, I feel like I just got dumped on my birthday. That was cold. Not even going out for drinks and getting let down easy.


    What was it Baby? Is it me? I'll change. Remember how I always put fresh flowers in the vase on the convertible Bug dash? It can be like that all over again. Just slip me a little Scirocco...
