	Always liked them. Ever since seeing the Dodge/PPC M4S 'Turbo Interceptor' Pace Car in the film "The Wraith" I've just had this thing for cars used to herd race cars around the track. From stock looking cars with cool graphics to 'concept' cars built to show off....they all float my boat. Here are some I love: The one that started it all for me OOOF for the Renualt 5 Turbo/AMC Pace car ....someone has to make a roadgoing version of this!! In 1980, they came over all 'Mad Max' with the styling. Love it. 1981 - questionable styling. Kinda cool but kinda ugly at the same time. WHOAHH! That's a rear end I'd happily follow around a track Buck Rogers styling FTW Bodykitted Celica with awesome graphics.....moar wantage Esprit influenced?? Fiero pace car looks amazing. Why would you pull one of these apart to build a fake Ferrari? More of those great graphics, Fox bodied this time.... Pimp. I prefer this to the Smokey & Bandit look.....by a country mile Stunning - doing it in style Cruising....if the pace car driver didn't do his laps with his arm hooked over the door then he's really not with it. I'm nowhere near spent, but want to leave some for you guys to post up. This post was brought to you as pennance for MM losing his well known mild mannered streak earlier this evening thanks to some complete numpty

	initially the Stude-ly compact was not the intended choice. The much faster Avanti was to set the pace but wasn't finished in time. Thus was born one of the stranger Indy 500 pace cars.

	edit: At the risk of sounding like a grumpy and bitter old man, what year was it that all of a sudden we decided to change them into "safety cars"? Utter limp wristed health and safety twaddle. Pace cars sound way cooler and they do the same bloody thing.

	This used to be mine. The only picture I have of it. Sold it because I couldn't afford to satisfy its appetite for engines. Last known whereabouts was Glasgow somewhere in the late '90s.

Maybe not the same car, but you know what I mean Funny how within a few hours of posting this thread up, one of the cars appears by chance in another thread. In the UK!
