I’m with you on both points! IMO the ‘Tank’ Bugatti was only ever matched by Cunningham’s Le Monstre......

Talking about Bugattis, did you ever see La Cage, design due to de Vizcaya? Based on a 37 if I remember well. Full nickname was "la cage Ã* mouches" referring to the thing you put on a plate of cheese…*Sure E.B will find something about! |

Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo. Prefer the Huracan but still a mega looking car.

You mean there's a contest inside SOF Club to who who's the next to be banned?
Because Bauble showed many Bugattis, try to fond pictures of Type 18 Rolland Garros, Type 30 Strasbourg GP, not mentioning Gangloff, Figoni & Falaschi or Saoutchik extravaganza. Mike, RBS, E.B sent you a message, kind of rebus. He says "de-rail" and this is related to Bugatti. |

It is off topic, but justified under the heading of ‘education’
The Bugatti Railcar- talk about ahead of it’s time...... http://www.bugatti-trust.co.uk/train...ugatti-trains/ |

Sadly a replica built a few years ago crashed during a test flight and the American builder died as a result. |

not mentioning Gangloff, Figoni & Falaschi or Saoutchik extravaganza. I prefered the more ordinary cars from Gaber.
The 100P? That is the plane. |

Bunch of knowalls, blathering on about obscure subjects, and straying far from the point of the thread, complete show-offs the lot of them.
Now let us get back to the reason for launching this thread, so that I can display my magnificent, collection of supreme examples of the photographers art. Well … at least..... maybe not F1 |

Cheers, EB, RBS, Mike, and Geronimo, only kidding of course …. although I do wonder why we don't have a two-finger emoji.
Some more to ponder over. |

What a gang of Sherlocks we have here, Viva started the good answer with Bugatti engines on rails. I guess Andy could help to name the kind of boat used when an Amiral goes from a destroyer to earth for instance. See what I mean? Many of those had Bugatti engines in it.
Guess what, E.B found good info about La Cage. You all are impossible to surprise, I'm gutted!!! OK, OK, back to two fingers Bob pictures ! |

There's very few Lancias I can think of that aren’t good lookers- up to the very modern Fiat based creations, that is! Even the box that is the Delta Integrale just works..... (all my opinion, of course!)

No F1 with massive rear wings from the seventies, façon Chaparral? Lotus 49 may be?

In post #842 I love the #7 car. (Is it a 1936 Triumph Gloria Special??)
That is not to say I dont like the Lancia. Yes 50's Italiana is very easy on the eye. |

You really like the coupé Flaminia? OK for the Zagato, may be, but the Touring… Tous les goûts sont dans la nature, Max would say!
