    Lots of good classics here. I'd like to see that black beauty at the end in the daylight. Anyone know what that thing is, exactly?

    I found the registration list and it says you're right, number 314 is a DB2.

    The grille doesn't look right, though, with those smaller rectangular bits on the side separated from the larger center section. The side grille is also either absent or more much more subtle on many/most. Also, the headlights are lower. But I found this example, also identified as a DB2 Coupe. Don't know why they're so different than the majority of DB2s but DB2 is correct. And, FWIW, I retract my earlier wish to see it in daylight...this version looks better in the dark...

    Yes, that one caught my eye as well. Took me a few seconds to realize what it was. Really wanted one of those when I was a kid.

    The paddle shifting is a bit of a surprise to me.

    That sure looks like fun. I love snow rally's as much as rain races. :arf:

    Just one very short stadium stage today but good to see Scandinavians are top 3 in Sweden...at least for today.
