Friday Moment of Zen

With a snow storm bearing down on NYC, my hope of driving the Dino in the near future dims yet again.

I made this little tribute to the "Italian Job" cobbled together from some experimental footage I took this fall on a flip cam.  I just ordered a new Contour HD cam that I hope to make some much more professional videos with in 2013!

Ferrari Testarossa vs. Honda NSX

I love this old Japanese comparison video.  Skip straight to 3:24 for the highly entertaining sprint race! The NSX driver is pretty spectacular.

Video of the Week: How to drive the pants off a GTV6

This video says it all about why the GTV6 is just such a great car.  The sound, the handling, the value. It's just one of the best V6 coupes of all time. He's just eating Miatas for lunch here.

Video of the Week: Ferrari 512M at Spa

The driver here is really pussyfooting his way around, but do I care?  The sound is still magnificent and he's still faster than all the other cars out there somehow...

Make sure you watch in HD. Makes a massive difference!

In case you can't get enough of the 512M, here's an additional video, though not in HD, of this car at Paul Ricard. Nice multiple views!

Phil Hill's racing photographs due out in a new book!

I for one am quite excited to learn that Phil Hill's personal collection of racing photographs, taken on his trusty Leica, are currently being compiled into an upcoming book entitled "Inside Track" by his son Derek, photographer Steve Dawson, and renowned historian Doug Nye.  Here's a brief video produced by Leica promoting the upcoming book.  One of my favorite shots is at 4:05 showing a trophy surrounded by stacks of prize money.

More info about the book at Phil Hill's official web site. You can sign up on thier mailing list to be notified when the book is out!
