    Here is the Ferrari that laid the foundation for the Testarossa race cars.

    Here is one Ferrari concept I am glad they never made. I love concept cars because they can do things that one might never do with a production car. I think this is one of those cases.

    I know the Veyron has been a car that has divided many within VW and outside of VW. I love the blend of Classic Era Bugatti style on a modern exotic. I know for some people the design is to round. I love the concept of the engine, but I think it is very complex and usually the more complex an engine is, the more trouble it is. It will be interesting to see how the Veyron finally turns out once production versions get delivered.

    This is the production version.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    I think he was talking about how it will run though.

    Yes, you are right. I want to see what independent tests show the car can do.

    It already ran 400kp/h on the track and rated 450, so that's definite. What I'm more interested in however, is how it'll really drive. How comfortable it will be for the driver and such. Without comfort and practicality any car is rubbish. Must admit though, the looks are really starting to grow on me. Except for those hood air-intakes. And GOD they have to un-shiny to rims to stop it looking like plastic, or just change it completely.

    Your photos are absolutely superb. The choice of the jury for the best of show 2005 is deserved, this Delage D8-120 Aerosport is really superb, I already had the occasion to see that of François Cointreau who is one of the 7 surviving ones with the body Letourneur & Marchand at the time of the Concours d'élégance Louis Vuitton in Bagatelle (Paris), it is really the prototype of best of the French body of the Thirties.

    Thanks Type 59.

    When I saw the Delage, I had picked it as one of the cars that was likely to win. I was still pulling for the Talbot Lago Type 150 with the fully skirted fenders, but I the Deleage was a great choice.

    It's not a Ferrari Testa Rossa but a Ferrari 410 S 1955 chassis number #0596/CM.
