THAT'S What I'm Talkin' About! (250 Testa Rossa)

No particular reason to post this link, other than that the video has been one of my faves for years.  The important part is obviously not the video quality, but the audio.  It appears to have been shot in Tuscany--what better place to blow the cobwebs out of a 250 TR?

1958 Ferrari 250 TR.  If you weren't driving one in international sports car racing 1958-1961, you were pedaling faster to keep up.  The '58 Scaglietti-bodied 250 TR was the iconic one, but they came in more normal-looking editions later.  American Phil Hill cemented his reputation as an endurance sports car racer with wins in these cars before he went on to become World Champion in the Ferrari 156 GP car in 1961.
