Western Landscape with E-type Bonnet

I’m trying to work from home today, but instead am wrestling the technology that allows me to do that. Namely my VOIP phone system and VPN it rides on are acting up and driving me crazy.

Here is a Mulsanne Straight spectator viewpoint of a passing 917:

If you need more time to appreciate the machine, here’s some more footage courtesy of Mr. Steve McQueen and the movie classic Le Mans:

Car Photo of the Day: Name all the cars.

You know you can.

While we’re off flashing our passports while crossing international borders and scarfing Tim Horton’s donuts here’s something to keep all you car spotters busy. A shot of a few of the cars assembled for the last night of the Monte Shelton NW Classic.

I can ID 16 out of the 19.1 cars visible.
