OK Guys, I will need a little help with downloading the photographs a) Ford Mustang (Steve McQueen version in Bullitt) - great film, great chase, great car  b) Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. Because it's a Ferrari and it's a Testa Rossa ! ![]()  c) Ford Sierra Estate (best car I ever own - bright red, had 180K miles (rebuid at 150K) on the clock when I part exchanged it carried the wife, 3 kids and 3 bikes on the back all round France on a number of occasions).  |

Brilliant Sandy. My Sierra was an even brighter red than that ! The kids at school christened it the
"Preesall Fire Engine".
Much appreciated.

Great choices, len! It's a toss up between the 'red head' and the Spyder for me. One I'll have to mull on.  |

Another couple of F's worthy of note... The Ferrari Modulo concept, which debuted at the 1970 Turin Motor Show and was recently restored  And another Ford... the 1976 Gran Torino used in the Starsky & Hutch television series  |

The Gran Torino is iconic, but the 250 GT California is just pure, hand-built automotive perfection - but I actually prefer the one owned by Chris Evans (formerly owned by James Coburn) which was resprayed in black.
Did you know that the one used in 'Ferris Bueller's day off' was a replica? Well, you do now!

As a little nod and tribute to my Grandad i'll say the Ford Sierra estate. As a corner shop owner for pretty much all his life he bought the first ever Sierra estate in Oldham when they came out!!

Mini-Herm says his fave Ferrari is the 250 GTO but we're adding our vote to the Sierra!

As a side note, the other day I saw a 'new' Mustang in Alderley Edge with the registration MU57 ANG.
Wonder how much that set him back?!

The original fiat 500. It is so small it’s ridiculous. I was walking down an alley in Sorrento last summer and had to step into a doorway as an old Italian chap rattled past in his venerable machine!

I suppose we should give a nod to the Ford Transit, purely for the sheer number sold, it's just a shame they are driven almost exclusively by d**kheads.

By my reckoning, the Ford Sierra is just edging this week, but if everyone wouldn't mind confirming their final votes over the weekend, I'll call time Sunday evening and start off Week G, which MHH has kindly sent me already.
Cheers!
