Yes thousandshirts, I have seen that amazing car before and the Ferrari 330 P4 shown at the end was the first racing Ferrari I ever saw, at the BOAC 500 race at Brands Hatch, England back in 1967, my first motor race, the last year Ferrari won the World Manufacturers Championship for Sportscars.
Hearing the V12 start up with open exhausts, is a sound I will never forget, it inspired terrifying fear, yet screming like a thousand banshees, it was the sweetest motor music I ever heard..
I have some slides of the cars, the event programme and the poster too.
Here are some cool P4 links, the F40 os my second favorite, apart from the F1 cars...

Being a Canadian, I'm sure you know of Gilles Villeneuve, my last great racing hero, I was in North England when he was killed and racing never was the same for me anymore, as he made you believe as Hendrix did that anything was possible..

Gilles raced the Italian airforce F-104 Starfighter with his trimmed out F1 Ferrari from a standing start as well.
I truly love Ferraris as they are about performance yes, but there is passion in the way they achieve it.. now all I need is millions of dollars to buy them, that's ok, I hope to drive a few before I shuffle of the mortal coil though
Thanks for the link!
