Interesting. I liked the part where they were at the Portofino and the cop came on the loudspeaker: “You are not social distancing,” he said. “Leave.”

Must be getting old. I thought this was cool in my younger days, now I think it's just stupid. All we need is for one of these guys to smash into a minivan full of kids and go up in a flaming ball of fire. Stuff happens fast at 160 mph and when you have a closing speed of greater than 100 mph it's just crazy.

I was invited to be co-driver/navigator for the 1975 run. Then-wife disallowed. The article HERE is about a Berlina that was to be run for the second time. They came in fifth in '72. Bob equipped a second Berlina for '75 but couldn't find a co-driver.
Another pal ran it in his Porsche, got his picture along with the two other fastest times on the cover of C&D. Lots of Leo stories...

It's great that you found the article interesting, but I understand how perspectives can change over time. Safety concerns become more prominent as we grow older. Speaking of games, I love trying out new ones to keep myself entertained.

Old thread, but put me in mind of Dick Jenkins. He had just put a set of DCOE Webers on his new GTV (in 1975) and we were doing "plug checks" by driving it WOT on Ohio River Blvd, cutting ignition and rolling into the side street the dealership was on. Jet swaps and repeat...

Recently, I stumbled upon this game called bubble money that's been quite addictive. It's a fun way to pass the time and challenge yourself. As a newbie on this forum, I'm excited to connect with fellow gamers and discuss various topics. If you have any game recommendations or want to chat about gaming experiences, feel free to drop me a line.

A few years ago my grandson wanted to go to college and become a game developer. I thought he should learn some of the history so I found some of the old fortran code and some later attempts to convert to C and converted Adventure to Java. I have that Java code if anyone would like to play with it a bit, no charge, of course.

Years ago I took a course in C++. Actually wrote a couple of simple programs and was totally surprised that they actually worked! 
Lost interest after a while as there were too many other things more interesting to do, like flying and tinkering with British cars! 
Forgot everything I learned back then, but that's nothing unusual at my age.
