    Beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing this. I absolutely loved seeing and hearing the Big Healey, the open-topped Ford GT and those Ferraris. And did he say 6 km straight?!? That's awesome.


    This page will be getting quite a few repeat visits from me I can assure you.

    Bastards. I actually do have things that need to get done. Oh well, I guess that's what tomorrow's for.


    Now, where'd I put my string backed driving gloves, tweed cap, and Cinzano bottle? Someone prime my Webers, I need to hear the canvas ripping and slowly be enfolded in that sweet gear oil and unburned Av gas mist.


    Darlin? Hold my calls. I'm going to be in a meeting for a while.

    Here's a link to Forum Auto.com's excellent and lengthy thread encompassing the history of the Targa Florio. While the text is (mostly) French, the copious number of photographs is pure, uncut Jalopnik.

    Were they painting numbers directly onto the cars? The video is playing at about the size of a postage stamp for me, but the sound is great.

    I guess these are on YouTube... my workplace web filter already blocks that site. Thanks anyway. Now it will have to wait until I get home where it can kill my productivity there... and simultaneously piss off my girlfriend.
