(sorry guys, it,s the school holidays, and that's all I hear from the temporary citizens )
But, why do we have to have such an interminable wait for Immola

So Ferrari can catch up

Okay, guys and gals. Maybe nobody will respond to this, but some of you have really strong opinions, and it might be fun to see where everyone weighs in on this silly topic, so here I go:

I would chuck the Dan Gurney Eagle thing into the mix.
I liked the nose in particular. Maybe it was like some women....so ugly they are described as spectacular, rather than ugly

This topic deserves it's own thread
And I am sure we'll have lots of debate on this one!
And RE30B#16, I am surprised you don't have this one!
Ok it's #15

The last merc. that Fangio raced
Edit: Not sure if you meant this one (W196s) or the W196
The 196, sans "S"

Julian,
Give us your top 10 all at once mate. It will make it easier for me to sort the images

Yes, I did love the Renault RE30B. What a wonderfully fast, swoopy, finny thing she was. Beautiful! If the Batmobile raced F1.
My honorable mentions include the Lotus 49 [of course], the Ferrari 126C2 [tragic, but gorgeous], Gurney Eagles, the Williams FW07, the 1982 McLaren MP4B, the 1988 McLaren MP4/4, the 1993 McLaren MP4/8, the Fittipauldi F6, the 1970 Ferrari 312B, the 1985 Ferrari 156, the 1982 Lotus 91 [sexy], the 1985 Lotus 97T, 1993 Lotus 107B, the Shadow DN7, the Arrows A2, the Arrows A11 [remember Damon Hill at the Hungaroring?], ...
I could go on and on, but, alas, I must stop.
