Car Photo(s) of the Day: The Make-up Exam, from Alfa to O… pel.

The Alfa and the Opel

Apologies for the lack of updates for the past several days. Life has me spinning at a high RPM, though without being in gear of late. The reasons will hopefully become clear very soon. In the meantime, here’s a few photos for you to ponder. Above is one of those snapshots that you have to take when you stumble upon the scene. Sure the photo isn’t that great, but the subject matter makes for one of those mental “huh” moments…

Carrying on… Here’s a six-pack of car photos to make up for my absence!

Car Photo of the Day: Name that car.

Name That Car

I stumbled upon this car at a show last year. The front end had a very E-type or 275GTB look to it, but was nothing of the sort. I’d never seen one in the flesh, so it is a rare beast indeed. Can you ID the car?

Engine Photo: Followup to Previous CPotD.

'Busa!

Here is the bottom/business end of the Hyabusa engine I posted in an earlier Car Photo of the Day. On a rest stop of the 2009 Annie & Steve Norman Classic Motorcar Rally on Vancouver Island we stopped at the shop of Super Seven Cars Inc. The shop is run by an ex-Can Am racer who has a fascinating collection of cars in and around the shop. They specialize in this Lotus 7 replica with the Hyabusa engine. Seems like a natural fit really. Insane coupled to crazy.

Car Photo of the Day: Still Life with Plug Wires.

Still Life with Plug Wires.

Can you name the car from just this view of the engine. Plenty of clues abound, so I doubt this one will withstand much scrutiny before being named correctly.

Car Photo of the Day: Still Life with Intake Manifold

OK, so this isn’t a great photograph, but there’s a lot of interesting things going on here for my car-spotting crowd. Can you name the car and the engine?

Name That Car.

Today’s CPotD Mystery Guest was another car seen on a lunch stop at a car collection on the 2009 Annie & Steve Norman Classic Motorcar Rally. The car was parked under a temporary tent behind the main building that housed the collection. Sadly, it appeared as if it had not moved under its own power for quite a while. Can you name the car?

Car Photo of the Day: Name that Beater

Every Saturday evening here in Arlington there is a mini-cruise-in at the local Burger King off of Highway 9. Rain or shine, with far more of the former, all year-round. I only amble down there occasionally, but always bring my camera. It is a VERY laid back crowd, with amazingly eclectic tastes. Every car is welcome. No “Concours d’Arrogance” here at all. I’ve seen everything from Rat Rods to Italian exotics, ’57 Chevys to Volvo P1800s, and Nash-Healeys to Packards. People show up in whatever they have, or in some cases are still working on, as project cars are welcome too. This car showed up once and I had to get a photo of it. Completely unrestored, but far from a “survivor” it is a very tired old beater. Can you name the car?
