Bij het rondneuzen op het net kwam ik de volgende anekdote tegen:
(Bron: http://www.lenfrank.com/maxgoes.htm )Monday and I'm supposed to be running Steve Sailors' Alpine A110 in the Ferrari Owner's Club time trial. With some little difficulty, the car was placed in the fast group. I guess the reasoning goes like this: all Ferraris are faster than the speed of sound if not the speed of light, so it makes sense to classify the cars by driver ability rather than by car type. However, if one of the inferior makes (like the Alpine) wants entree, it must be placed somehow among its social superiors, so after warning me that there were going to be real fast cars out there going real fast--like a LeMans Boxer and a Lola T-70--they let me out with the fast group. With a passenger aboard, something of a handicap in a car with maybe 130 hp, I was passed only once (Lola T-70) in practice. I did manage to pass a number of genuine Ferraris which have then been humiliated enough for one season. That was practice. Before the event itself, the transmission was somehow contrived to have been broken, and that was it for the day. I checked out, and Audied back to LA.
Ik zag laatst een A110 uit 1976 voor de luttele prijs van 25.000... auw.
