So by that you mean a remake or a lot of replacement parts?

It does not look anything like the car that Ferrari built, so they say it is not authentic.

Someone ran a diesel way back... I'll Wiki it.

Here it is:


The Peugeot 908 is also a diesel.

I think someone maybe ran a hybrid of some kind in the late 90s as well.

Toyota has expressed interest in making a hybrid KERS LMP under the new regulations in 2010 or so.

Yes, for modern cars, the Peugeot is diesel.

Toyota has the Supra hybrid, right? It's not in Le Mans though, it's in Super GT.

Hey Wouter did you know that the car on the left is being driven by Phil Collins' manager?

Apparently he tried to get into ZZ Top first.

I moved all the off topic conversations from the two latest comps to this thread.
Keeps the competition threads much cleaner.

Exactly. It is always a compromise, but the best compromise possible is what I am looking for. My problem is my relatively low and very fluctuating salary, so I have not much to spend (being a cheap-skate doesn't help either). Any idea's ?

There are limited options that fall in this range and fit on your camera. Be a big boy and look these up and list them here. Then we might shed some light on the situation. You did not expect us to all the digging for you?

Man, you're anti-post-processing and you're a "if it's not expensive it's not good" guy?
