I just watched the in-car too... goddammit that looks like a kick in the pants!

Gary, how'd you swing getting yourself lined up to drive these old cars? Also, do you approach driving them any differently because they're old? I would think that you'd have to be a bit conservative behind the wheel considering they're nearly irreplaceable and likely less safe than something contemporary... not to mention they look like a whole lot harder to drive than a modern car!

How would you compare the Alfa experience to that McLaren you got your hands on a while back? Personally, I'd much rather drive the Alfa... the CanAm car looked way too risky.

Edit: That car reminds me of the NORPAC Vintage Series T-Shirt I designed... beautiful car!
