At the end of January, I was asked if I\u2019d speak at the new L.A. Classic Auto Show, that was being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. At first they wanted to interview me on stage, which after a moment of consideration I replied, \u201cI thought you wanted to put this event on, again next year?\u201d Then after deliberating about what little esoteric slice of racing history I could bore the crowd with, I came back to the organizers with a completely different idea. What if I talked about some of the best, worst and most frightening cars I\u2019ve test driven over the past 20 years? Sort of a, \u201cConfessions of an Historic Test Driver.\u201d<\/p>\n

So I sat down and started to think about which five or six cars I would include. Much to my amazement, once I started to list out of all the cars I\u2019d driven over the past 20 years, I realized I was going to have to pick just six out of more than 100! While it was tough to choose just a handful, I ended up selecting six significant cars that had all won championships or major international races and had some personal significance (good or bad) in terms of the test drive. Here\u2019s what made the list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
