We'd go down the Mulsaane straight and never know which side of the road we were going to use next. (guess I'll have to do some research and see if that's web'bd anywhere) dave henrie

The 917 is the fisrt racing car I can remember as it was in fact my very first toy car, I had a big red plasttic one when I was just in back in 72, it a shame I still don't have it. I did notice that one car is own by a "Seinfeld" is that Jerry Sienfeld perhaps, he certainly has the dosh. I'd love one if I had the money but it's one one the few cars I'd be too scared to drive. I have seen several 917 and 962 1:18 scale die cast models her in the UK, can't remember the make though. I hav't got one purely because I've run out of room in my display cabinet. Some Call Me Tim

Thanks. I've already got more 917s than Louise Piech. Looking forward to the 956/962...and still dreaming about RSKs, RS-61s, Abarth Carreras, etc. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > The 917 is the fisrt racing car I can remember as it was in fact my very > first toy car, I had a big red plasttic one when I was just in back in 72, > it a shame I still don't have it. > > I did notice that one car is own by a "Seinfeld" is that Jerry Sienfeld > perhaps, he certainly has the dosh.

I had the Gulf paintjob Porsche as a Tyco(or AFX) slot car. I actually had a BUNCH of 'historic' cars, although I didn't realize it at the time... :( Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett My .sig file is in the shop for repairs...
