Neil Peart's car collection at auction.
Wow, that's 4 of my top five cars right there. Just missing a MB 300SL Gullwing. It makes me sad that he's no longer around to enjoy those, but hopefully others will appreciate owning them.
Very nice cars. I always wondered at the inspiration for the "Red Barchetta", if he had a particular car in mind, or just a general sense of 'roadster'. Ironic, and a bit prophetic now that we approach the projected demise of ICE powered vehicles.
Neil was also an avid motorcyclist. I wonder if there is a 2 wheeled collection as well...?
In reply to Rodan :
I wondered the same. I know he had a BMW with about a billion kilometers on it.
The song was inspired by the short story “A Nice Morning Drive,” written by Richard Foster for the November 1973 issue of Road and Track.
Murias are so damn sexy. It's such a shame Lamborghini sues everyone who even thinks about building a copy of any of their cars.
I'm a fan, obviously. Neil wrote a good book about dealing with loss and how he put some of those billion kilometers on his BMW:
He sure had great taste in cars.
Another example of how much nicer Cobra's look without the side pipes that adorn many of the big block cars along with most of the replicas. Just say no to side pipes!
In reply to pres589 (djronnebaum) :
Yup, the small-block cars look so good.
That's a truly brilliant collection.
