Who's gonna put up Tony Curtis from "The Persuaders" TV show..
..or doesn't a Dino make the cut as a Ferrari?

I always thought it was funny how 'Magnum' didn't fit properly in that wee GTS..

I recall at the 1973 Swedish GP, I was there, Jacky Ickx said after qualifications;

"The problem is that we have no problems, this car is just not faster than this"
"I spent most of my money on wine and women...I wasted the rest"
