knows. I've been looking for a new and reasonably-priced copy of Driving Ambition for over 10 years. I don't want to get a used copy, but brand new ones cost several hundreds of dollars... and then there's the overseas shipping. I was watching several vids of the T.50 yesterday and this car is definitely it. Gordon's attention to detail and approach to car-design is what I like to see. As huge as a McLaren fan as I am, if I had the money, I'd get this over anything from the current fleet of McLaren cars. I feel that this is the true spiritual successor to the F1.

Motor and Box. Would've never guessed he would go too Cossie for a power plant. Good move.

Should've copped the hemi. The only thing that would've blown would be other cars while you smoked em

Ehh that's just drafting.
Reckless is subjective, if you're experienced, know the car's limitations and have complete control I can't call that reckless.

Thanks buddy! I've known about that book for a long while. Picked up my copy below about 3-4 years ago. Think I paid about $150 for it. Was in decent shape. Spine needs gluing, but the poster is mint. Never bought it for resale purposes but to read it, check out all the photos and be a quintessential shelf queen for all my car books (lots of books on the GT40). It's such a great read.
And your dead on about the T.50. There is no other car I would want if I had the funds! The wait would be so worth it! Just to see one in person, I'll be thrilled! The whole car is a work of functional art (function first and foremost while created and designed to save as much weight as possible at the same time. I think I said that right, lol). Just like the F1. Remember the Kenwood CD changer Gordon asked them to create. The original was too heavy so he had them make a version that was lighter. The magnets were smaller and the weight was different by grams. Crazy, but brilliant.
Here's my pics of my book.

He's been saying he wanted Cosworth to build the motor to his specifications for a long while. He knows what he's getting with the motor! It's going to me a glorious soundtrack (as heard on the engine dyno on YouTube).

Nope! I remember looking at prices and being like wow thats a great deal on that Ferrari. And knowing full well the 225k was out of my budget of 5 dollars.

Yes! IIRC, Gordon sprayed iron filings onto pieces of aluminum to create lighter magnets! Incredible attention to detail.
And it was also interesting to hear him talk about the sound inside the T.50 cabin from the throttle position rather than the exhaust.

Nah miss me with that.
Only red I'm rocking with is candy apple. It looks decent when you do accents on black but that's as far as I would go.

Your not alone buddy! My mom would get me a new copy every month when we went to the local grocery store! I was actually just telling my wife about how that book kept me so busy looking at every car and reading the descriptions! Loved that magazine! (It was like $4.99 a month back in the late '80s when C&D was half that). Been looking on their website lately as my wife has her eyes set on a pre-owned car that frequents the magazine in a year or so!
gonna be fun when the times comes to go shopping!
