How have I missed this thread?! If there is anything I am into more than B&O it is cars and auto racing. Looks like many of you guys have some excellent taste in automobiles! After having a many fun cars from a 1956 Chevrolet to a Porsche 911, my current collection includes a 2005 Audi A8L as my daily driver, a 1986 Porsche 951, 1984 Volvo 242 Turbo coupe, 1984 Porsche 944 race car, and my true baby, a 2010 Audi S4 ex-World Challenge GTS race car. The S4 actually had B&O audio when it was new, but sadly it all had to be ripped out during the race car build...

That's an impressive collection 🤒 can we see the Volvo please? You don't see them very often, it must be quite collectible?

I personally don't like Audi's (or most German cars) but I have tons of respect for your passion and the race car is awesome.

Considering roadsters, I think that the best value for money is Mazda Miata (or MX5), any generation : it gives a lot of pleasure on the normal roads.

And I have to confess I'm also a fan of the i3 (s), I'm thinking of buying one second hand if I need a car before the Tesla Model 3 is available in France...

Let me express my most sincere jealousy! There is nothing like climbing into a car and having to slide the steering wheel (who doesn't love a nice quick release?!) back on after putting your 5/6 point harness together

The only thing that is missing is a picture of the engine!

My favorite racing series are the Pirelli World Challenge and [when I can find it streaming/on tv] the Conti Challenge. They really have the best racing around these days. Beo4 'til I die!

The Volvo is kind of a “Rat Rod”. The outside is completely unrestored, but the motor has been completely gone through with a bigger turbo and intercooler, and a locker differential for some fun drifting. Also has upgraded sport seats and a momo wheel. It’s one of the most fun cars I have ever driven.

And Evan, you may recognize where this photo was taken... 🏁🏎
