Cool idea. It is a hypothetical rally where you have to drive a car from the year of your birth. Question Of The Day: What's your car for the Year of Your Birth Rally? I need to think about this one for awhile. What car would you choose? CD
As there are several dream choices, I've decided on the 1956 Aston Martin DB3S, in its original racing livery. My dilemma, however, is I'm a bit short of the 5.5 Million it'd take to put me in the seat.
Mark your so old I think you would have rallied on one of these? :lol: Were you sad when they all went away? :devil:
I don't think it matters if it was available to the public. You could rally a Willys "Jeep." :biggrin5: CD
Nice choice. I've had the good fortune to meet Derek Bell on four or five occasions. I have a picture of us together, somewhere, from the Monterey Historics, where my friend and I had a long car talk with him. Of course, we had my friend's cute little daughter with us, and she was wearing a pink Porsche hat. She was about 8 years old. The conversation started with Derek kneeling down for a picture with my friend's little girl, and she knew who he was -- good girl, daddy taught you well. :biggrin5: CD
Okay, although I am tempted to go with a 1961 Checker Marathon, so I can boot the rest of you off the road, and not damage my car, I'm going to go with my artistic, sophisticated side. My choice is the 1961 Jaguar E-Type. 1961 was the first year for the E-Type, and Enzo Ferrari called it, "The most beautiful car ever made." In my opinion, it is still one of the most beautiful cars ever made. When a car still makes you stop and look longingly 55 years after it was introduced, you know you got the design right. CD
