[link] not the best sound quality but it is interesting to see the key fob acting as a cornering force indicator.

Well, the point is how much improvements the automobile has gone through over the past 5 decades- more reliable safer, but with fantastic performance as well.

Yes but nothing gets your pulse going or makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up quite like a Ferrari 250GTO does or any other 250 series street or race cars.

Awesome, a friend of mine in LA used to own one which is now in Ralph Lauren's collection, and a friend of his once owned the 250GT Breadvan!!!

Yes Peter did a lot of films and Stephen plans to use some of it in a documentary about the 250GTO.

That, and the sky green one Moss drove. there are a few other unusual colors, I think Bamford's is an ex- David Piper car that's BP green like most of Piper's cars are.

Take a look here at a 1967 Lotus F1 car:

Classic, Dad did a splendid watercolor of this car in period.
Now 1968:

Chapman was the first to go down the route of advertising with the Gold Leaf cigarettes in F1, and things haven't really been the same since.

Ah, I understand now. I thought it had to do with the Blue and white. Well, F1 seems to be mostly about money now.

Well yes- it does have to do with that. Pabst and Penske ran one similar, and NART used that blue and white stripe down the car for their Ferraris. The one belgian group also had yellow ferraris in period. Their name escapes me.

Penske blue was different though. I have a diecast of a Penske 'vette in blue and yellow. I wasn't aware of any American team racing 250GTOs though.
