McQueen
I just got done reading this article. WOW!
It's very cool to read original reviews like this of what are now timeless classic cars, from someone who was a true enthusiast. Of course, he makes a few factual slips, like thinking that the 427 "Turbo-Jet" in the Corvette meant it was turbo-charged.
but I suppose we can forgive him for that. Such a great variety of cars too, from traditional sports cars (the "new" Porsche 911, Alfa), to luxury GT (Mercedes, Aston). Very complimentary reviews of all, but so no-nonsense, seat of the pants, gut feeling reviews from a legendary car guy. Even if I do find his movies pretty boring.
Read it all here
