	I was watching classic rallying today and were looking at the older cars with their very distinct and memorable liveries. One was a Bastos BMW and it set me on a Google picture trail of al the different Bastos and Castrol sponsored vehicles across all types of motorsport. Incredible how some signage just transfers so well on different cars. What are your memorable cars/livery. A few of mine .... Alitalia and the Stratos Bastos M3 Castrol & Celica Rothmans Escort (a la Vatanen) Martini and Porsche

	Belga Team, mostly associated with rallying via the exploits of Willy Lux, Robert Droogmans and Marc Duez: They actually started in endurance racing though, with drivers like Jean-Michel and Philipe Martin, Marc Duez, Phillip Verellen, Bob Wollek, alain De Cadanet and Gordon Spice, winning the Spa 24 Hours 3 years on the run (1978-80) and 3rd place in the 1980 Le Mans 24 Hours:

	Pennzoil - not known so much in Europe, but they have a long history in the USA and also in Japan via their association with Nissan: They also sponsored Rod Millen's exploits with Toyota at Pikes Peak:

	I think cars always look best when painted either in booze or fags colours. Dunno why, it's just one of those universal constants. All the best have been done (JPS is the coolest livery of all time) so there are only my two other faves left to put up really; and...
