Category: Car Photo Of The Day

I rarely post any photos here that I haven’t shot myself, but this one is just too awesome to ignore.
It also links to a set of articles about a guy who has a deserving place in history.

I’d say “name that car” but it is wearing a name tag. 😉

enjoy!

Name every car in the front row.

This shot has a sort of “je ne sais quoi, eh.” 😉

Taken at the 2003 New England 1000 vintage rally as we lined up for a start from the Chateau Frontenac. That space in front of the Aston-Martin became ours shortly afterwards when the official rally photog wanted to shoot the impressive facade of the Chateau looming above the equally impressive nose of the Jaguar XK 120.

I took some other shots that day, as the location was awesome, so look for the scene again in the future in this “CPOTD” location. I picked this one as it has a wonderful “Summer” feel to it.

That day started wonderfully as you can see, but a few hours later we missed a checkpoint and earned a 1 second penalty (after running a perfect rally up to that point) and then to add injury to insult, threw a fan belt, and ended up blowing ourselves completely off the competitive scale. It became a tour after that… but we did stop at a racetrack and had some fun.

No need for guessing games on this one – it is an icon.

Enjoy!

This could be a one-off machine, so wild guesses are allowed, and encouraged.
