You are right! I'm sure there is " some" motor sport interest on the forum.
Thanks for sharing. To me, the Porsche 917 is one of the most beautiful
racing cars, together with the Ferrari 330 P4 and the Lola T70.

I'm interested in Mark's comment.

As for your private situation: Try a son :-))
My son (9 years old) has a good ability to convince my wife of what is
really important in life (racing cars, football, etc.).

Best wishes

: Classic And Sports Car magazine put this picture on Facebook

: It's a famous picture and I'm sure a lot of you have seen it
: before, you can buy prints through LAT (I have no affiliation to
: them), which is something I'm about to do. An amazing photo of
: two superb drivers, in one of the best ever racing cars going
: into probably the best corner in motor racing.

: I already have this one on the wall, a superb shot of Pedro
: Rodriguez at the Brands Hatch 1000km race in 1970:

: Again, not in any way affiliated to the photographer! Rodriguez was
: black flagged just after the start, lost a lap and despite his
: teammate doing his best to go backwards, won the race by five
: clear laps from the next car (I think Siffert's car went out and
: it was another 917 in second place). From lurking on here for
: ages I know that there's some motor sport interest, especially
: with Heuer's association with various drivers and that film. I
: thought you might be interested to know about these prints.

: As well as a collection of watches and about 60 1:18 scale Porsche
: models (mostly 917s, 904s and 906s), I have a lot of Mercedes
: and Porsche racing posters, along with event posters from races
: like Le Mans. Mercedes and Porsche would produce a poster every
: time they won a race, they'd distribute the posters to dealers
: (Mercedes stopped in 1955 but Porsche still produce posters
: after every success). Here are some of the Porsche ones, sadly
: at the moment I only have two Targa Florio posters on the wall
: at home, the fiancee doesn't like my car posters, and my new
: office only has space for three posters. Come to think of it she
: doesn't like watches or cars, I'm not sure why I'm still with
: her.

: These are in my old office. The 1970 Spa poster is on the left in
: this picture:

: They're all genuine original posters, this is one of the rarest, I
: bought it from a seller in the US (I'm in the UK) and waited
: very nervously for it to arrive. The fiancee hates it, which is
: why it's on the wall at home...

:

: I have about 100 Porsche posters in total, with about 15 in frames.
: One day I'll have a garage big enough for the cars and with
: enough wall space for a load of the posters.
