No guessing games as this machine is too easy a guess I think. Just a nice rustic view.
Taken on the 2006 GTTSR.

Just another place to look at car stuff.
Car Photo of the Day: Name That Car.
Time to bring back that favorite game here on c.g.o: “Name That Car.”
So it is red, and features a hole. Know what it is? Name it in the comments.
By the way: Earlier this week I refreshed my collection of car photos and databased them up on one of my servers. So expect a cascade of new photos!
Car Photo(s) of the Day: a Two-fer.
The Annual Rain Festival (October-May) has returned to the Pacific Northwet. As such I doubt I’ll be driving the Jaguar much over the next several months. Oh well. The above shot was taken actually far from the Pacific. It is Frank Filangeri’s (I hope I spelled that right) S1 E-type OTS. Taken on the very wet New England 2000 Vintage Rally over eight years ago. My how time flies.
Just so that all that grey doesn’t get you SAD I’ve got a sunshine shot that can provide us with a little guessing game:
I love this shot and love this spot. It evokes memories of places in England for me. So where is it? As many of you know, this car has driven many places all over this country. East coast, west coast, and all the way across. Is that the sea, or is it a lake? It could even be a big river or a reservoir! Could be Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Nova Scotia, Ohio, British Columbia, California, Idaho, Alberta, Montana, Washington, Oregon… or could it be someplace in between?
Take a guess of where this road might be located in the comments.
John got it: Ebeys Landing Road on Whidbey Island. Very close to home… due west of my house by a short distance as the crow flies (and the crows do fly around here!) but a bit of a drive. Worth it though.
Thanks for playing everyone!
Car Photo of the Day: Autumn run.
Here’s a nice shot. IIRC this was the very first time I actually opened the door and stuck the camera out the bottom for a shot. It was taken on the Mille Autunno rally about this time four years ago. In fact I’m pretty sure it was exactly 4 years ago today.
We were driving around the Sierra Nevadas with a group of old cars. I’m pretty sure this was taken as we rounded the west shore of Lake Tahoe.
Car Photo of the Day: Whisky. Tango. Foxtrot.
I’m doing a little lunchtime update of my GTTSR pages and noted this photo in my collection from last week. I remember doing a cartoon character extreme double-take when I saw this car. Can you spot the oddity in this photo (and if you can’t, you’re blind!)
Car Photo of the Day: Summer drawing to a close.
It is still sunny here in the Pacific Northwest, but we can tell the wet season approaches as our mornings are getting foggy. I remember snapping this photo one winter of a beater old Triumph I used to see on my daily commute. It was bondo-ed up the wazoo and I imagine its top leaked like a submarine with a screen door. Yet somebody drove it down I-5 every day through Everett.
Yes, I’m backfilling my 2008 GTTSR stories as fast as I can every night before I go to bed, so expect a summary post with links soon. Meanwhile you can go back and view them if you like via the “2008 GTTSR” link to the right, or just scroll down and go back. Once that’s done I’ll have a whole new slew of “name that car” posts and whatnot coming soon. Thanks for your patience.
Car Photo of the Day: I still love this car.
OK, not the best of photographs, as the background is way too busy, but I have to admit I still like this shot. Perhaps it is my life-long lust for Jim Hall’s Chaparral Can-Am cars. I saw them in the flesh, being driven in anger at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin when I was a small boy. While Hall was a perennial 3rd place to the McLarens and their Kiwi drivers (as Jerome will no doubt remind us in the comments) the SBC-powered winged white little Texas cars were my heros. Every year something radical and new.
To stumble upon this blast from my past at the Amelia Island Concours was a real treat. I spent easily 30+ minutes staring at it from every angle. I even touched it now and then. I’m sure other people there thought I was some oddball stalker… no… I was just seeing an old and admired friend.
