Interclub meet at Loton Park Hill Climb at the weekend, the Ferrari Club had some cars from their hillclimb championship. Most interesting was this one - 1963 Ferrari 250; not a GTO, but searching the reg, it's still around £1.5m:


The circuit was closed for around an hour because of this one: Formula Jaguar car found some grass, then some bushes, and then some much larger bushes, and finally a small tree. Driver walked away, but not sure this will buff out.

Just needs an alignment and its good enough for we buy any car

Think of how they are designed though, small crashes tend to break the wheels off (possibly to save the driver?), and obviously they're not built to pass pedestrian safety tests. Crashes do tend to look fantastic though.

Wheels are attached with the minimum amount to save of weight. Suspension allows a good deal of vertical travel, it takes almost zero lateral movement so will break quite easily if hit the wrong direction. All the safety to the driver is in the actual tub which looks like it has done it's job as it looks ok considering the wheels lol

I suspect if a road car was built that way, the first time Doris kerbed it the wheel would come off.

Just went past a speed camera van a bit too quickly (about 35). Says "community speed watch" on the side but dressed up to look legit lol

Phew. It's just some some gits taking themselves far to seriously

Bit of an unusual choice to be carting round some 2x4s but nice to see it being used.

There's an "abandoned" house on a mega-posh road near me with one of these rotting on the driveway. Bonkers.

Everything compared to American cars look small, bet it makes an lgv look small.

 

[Hotwired]

Could put quite a few children in front of that bonnet without seeing them.

 

[skaif]

It's been compared to a jumbo jet by friends.

The new one is just huuuuge.
