Category: Car Photo Of The Day

Topless, in any weather!

Tell a story about your craziest drive.

(this isn’t mine, just an explanation of my day…) Today I played hooky and went for a drive up to Chilliwack to visit Geoff, the (retired!) Yorkshireman who rebuilt the XK engine for me several years ago. He asked how many miles I’d put on the car since then and I guessed… “Probably about 15,000.”

His reply: “You’re out of warranty now!” 😉

I’ll post pictures from my day soon.

They always say the only way to make a car drive better is to adjust the big nut behind the wheel. This big nut came supplied by the factory. Can you name the car?

Looks can be deceiving. Can you name this car?

We’re back in business, a new server, and a new set of photos. To make the the “Name that Car” task a bit more difficult I’ve cropped in close.

This car was spotted at the 2009 Tulip Rallye. Can you identify it?

Sort of an easy one.

We were stuck behind this bison for quite a while. He just ambled slowly down the middle of the road. We just waited for him to finally decide to leave the road before we could pass.

What’s the oddest thing you’ve had blocking your progress?

Keeping with the Montana theme of the last CPotD, this image was shot not far outside of Virginia City, Montana.

An odd thing about my personality: I am generally LOUSY at remembering people. This includes people who are “famous” or have “celebrity”. Many times in my life (more often then not on car rallies, but not always) I’ve sat down, and introduced myself to somebody, who turns out to be somebody I should have known anyway! It was certainly the case here. At Virginia City this person and my father were sitting and talking on a pair of rocking chairs while everyone else on the rally explored the quaint little semi-ghost town. I was intent on shooting photos of cars and wandered by, and introduced myself. Oddly, this gentleman recognized my name, as a colleague of his had mentioned me to him a few days earlier(!) I had no clue who he was. My father filled me in later after we I had made this shot. Can you name the person?

If we get a discussion going in the comments I’ll tell you others I’ve stumbled into in a like manner.
