I noted via a twitter from the Autoblog guys that Jalopnik is featuring Steve McQueen’s Jaguar XKSS today. But they only have a couple of photos of the car itself. That just won’t do! Given that I’ve had the distinct pleasure of being around (and in!) a few XKSS’ in my time, I figured I’d … Continue reading “Car Photo(s) of the Day: Steve McQueen’s other car… the Jaguar XKSS”
We’d crossed the desert southwest and were now t the feet of the Rockies in Cortez, Colorado. Today’s drive is a loop through the San Juan mountains, visiting the towns of Telluride, Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton, and Durango. Our timing was perfect, as the aspens were turning color as we rose in altitude, so we could … Continue reading “SOL Tour Day Four: Rocky Mountain Highs”

The stuff is in retreat. Now it is just a matter of time. I was perusing my photos of old cars … Continue reading “Car Photo of the Day: Wet Classics”
Another touch and go post here from the hotel in Bozeman. Yesterday’s JagCam footage from Missoula, down to Lost Pass, then over to Big Hole, Jackson, Virginia City & Ennis: You will note it was VERY windy and the cam got wobbled around a lot. In fact it fell off a couple of times too. … Continue reading “2008 GTTSR: Going To The Sun Rally, Day Five: Wind & Rain.”
Lots of photos today, as I had a ride in Philippe Reyns’ SS100! None to post yet however, as we had dinner with a friend in Missoula. Until I have some time to edit, post, and write…. here is the day’s “JagCam” footage with a little Rush thrown in:
