L-O-V-E love

I know this is a particularly random post to put up, but what the hell, here we go.
I love cars, race cars in particular. They’re my love above and beyond anything else. I seem to get too caught up in other things and ignore that love occasionally, but Ill stop that from now on. Race cars are huge money though, that is in part why I fall away from them occasionally (as its much cheaper to buy an old guitar than an old F5000 race car). But money will come and go, so I thought it best to put down a list of race cars that I’d like to own. Now please take into consideration that in most of these cases these cars will never actually be for sale, as there were only two or three ever built, & even if they were for sale they would be so expenisve you would need to own apple to afford them. But anywho, here we go, Ill limit myself to 5per category (as I’m not selfish). Ill sort them by catagory for ease of comprehension:

Formula 1
Lotus 49
Lotus 79
Eagle Westlake T1G
McLaren MP 4/5
Williams FW17

CanAm/Sportscars
Lola T70
McLaren M8D
Matich SR3
Matich SR4
Ferrari 330 P4

Touring Cars
Pete Geoghegan’s 1965 Ford Mustang
Pete Geoghegan’s 1967 Ford Mustang
Jim Clark’s 1964 Lotus Cortina
Pete Geoghegan’s 1972 Ford Falcon
Frank Gardner’s 1968 Ford Escort

F5000
1974 Lola T-332
McRae GM1

Rally Car
Anything from Group 4, probably a Peugeot 205 Gti

If I could add an extra car in exchange for another, I would have Frank Gardner’s 1967 Ford Falcon Sprint instead of the Williams FW17. I’d probably have a few other touring cars if I could too, an M3 and a Sierra, probably an A9X as well. Oh this is hard. Hard to leave our the 1984 VK Commodore as well… oh dear.
From this list you can probably conclude a few little things:

- My favourite period of race cars was the 1960s/early 70s
- I’m a big fan of Australian Motorsport
- I do like Touring Cars.

The list could go on and on, but that is a nice start. Good fun.
