Wait, seriously?

What a shame. Ever thought about making an "Henk's Hide-res Hideout"?

Well I think it would a great idea, seeing the quality of the pics we are missing out on.

Only problem is, are you willing to take the time to upload them and manage them? I'm guessing it's going to be a lot of hard work, and possibly quite a hassle.

Nice update as usual. Looking into the articles again, I'm wondering if the 512's engine is related to any production Ferrari engine - the article says it is related to their F1 engines - were these road based? Something I also am wondering when looking at the 917 article in comparison is how the 917 managed to make more power even though it was 500 cc short of the Type 261C and only utilised 2 vpc as opposed to 4 and had a lower compression ratio - I know there is more to engines than these things alone, but no less. Was the 917's engine more stressed? Also, I see the 917's engine is related to the 908's, what was the 908's engine based on? A production 911 per chance?

I love the mirror in the roof. How functional was it , i mean its pretty odd to have the reflex to look up to see what is behind you.
