So many cars ——
What’s an enthusiast to do? There are so many great and interesting cars out there that we invariably make lists. Every car mag I have seen has, at one point, and often annually, made a list of the 100 Greatest Cars, or something like that.
I’ve decided to keep a running list, just in case I fall into that vat of cash and can afford some of them. To make things more interesting and diverse, I have created three categories to list them under: Retro, runner, and racer. Keeping with my “drive them as much as possible” philosophy my mode of driving helps define each category. Retro (these are the classics): historic, technically brilliant, and beautiful; I’ll drive these gently, on sunny days, on scenic back roads. Runner (quick, fast, great handling): the best road cars, great acceleration, torquey, corner carvers. My first pick when I want to enjoy the journey. Racer (memorable track cars): built to race, gut wrenching performance, formidable looks. Track days only, the gearhead’s version of bungee jumping.
I’ll share my lists in future posts. Find below a visual example of each.
The Retro: Type 59 Bugatti Grand Prix
The Runner: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO
The Racer: 2002 ALMS LP1 Cadillac
