Category: Car Photo Of The Day

Yesterday was a repeat (caught by Roger!) but I know I’ve never, ever posted a photograph of this car before. can you name it?

It was a participant in a Rally I went on a couple of years ago, but it crapped out on the first day. I *think* I only managed to snap a couple of shots of it before its untimely demise.

Know what kind of car this is? Let me know.

This could be an easy one, given some of the regular guessers around here, but we’ll see.

I mentioned this car the other day when I pictured his Ferrari 275 GTS, so I thought I’d share this nice photo of a part of it.

I’m pretty sure it starts with an “E”… 😉

The scene: In Nova Scotia, right about here on the 2001 Forza Mille. Sherman & Scott Wolff experienced an Italian flavored “failure to proceed” moment. I don’t recall the nature of their problem, but I do recall they were in an odd pair of vehicles: The one pictured above, and a eight-cylinder pre-war Packard.

The “name that car” photo above is way too easy, but hey, my little green British roadster from earlier in the week remains anonymous so maybe my readers NEED a dead giveaway. 😉

Sorry for the lack of postings of late… I’ve been sick as a dog.

Anyway, in today’s Car Photo of the Day the “breakdown” theme continues. Here it wasn’t so much a breakdown as a near-catastrophe of Hindenburgian proportions. This car ran over a chunk of rebar, which punctured the (full!) gasoline tank, which emptied itself rather quickly. THANKFULLY for all involved, this was not a Hollywood movie, or there would have been a huge explosion. Fortunately it was merely the annual running of the Colorado Grand.

Anyone know the car?
