Enzo Ferrari praised the E-Type as the "most beautiful car ever built'...

I totally agree. I recall an episode of Top Gear in which they compared/contrasted it with a contemporary version Eagle E-Types - The Jaguar E-Type Experts
which are dang cool in their own right.............
I'm not really a "car guy", but that stuff is just SO beautiful, graceful, like these fellows

Herb Elliot was my idol. When I was in high school, Percy came to Santa Barbara and gave a motivational talk. It was very cool.


Real running uniforms in those days. loose shorts, loose singlet ! and the track suits!

of course there were John Landy and Ron Clarke as well.
Did you ever see the famous John Landy Aust Championship win where he stops to help a fallen runner (Clarke) and then chases the field and wins ?

The English occasionally get something right. The first generation Daytona 675 was an in-house effort. It and D-type and E-type Jaguars may be the exceptions that proves the rule.
I'd add the original Lotus Elite and MG TC/TF MGB Austin Healey Sprite etc as being contenders - if only for most attractive in their own time & class.
not to forget the Vauxhall 30/98 - for a Veteran car I think it is beautiful. I know I'll be in the minority but so be it.

and Ettore Bugatti called the Bentley's the Worlds fastest Trucks (or similar)
 
Marshall, you will be impressed. I watched the baseball game. The that punched their ticket. I don't watch enough baseball to understand how the college world series works.

Pretty sure it's first team to win 4 games (out of 7). Women's college world series apparently has a mercy rule where if you're (I think) 10 runs behind after 5 innings, the game is over. Does anyone know if the men have that?
