Category: Car Photo Of The Day

As promised here’s a bonus CPotD to make up for my lack of car photos of late. The title pretty much sums this situation up well. It’s a big Healey in the little town of Wisdom, Montana, which is pretty much the only town in the Big Hole Valley.

Apologies for the lst of CPotD postings of late. Life has me quite busy at the moment, but I’ll make it up to you by posting a handful of photos today for the gearheads to ponder, wonder, and puzzle over.

First is this amazing Porsche captured at the Northwest Historics a few years ago. I was reminded of it when I watched the old early 70s sci-fi flick THX 1138 the other night. It shows a bleak future in which, inexplicably we all drive Lola Can-Am sports racers! Anyway, I’m not at all an authority of Porker race cars, so maybe somebody can fill us in on what this car may be exactly? (908?)

Since the last CPotD turned into a stumper I’ll toss a fairly simple one in the mix for the weekend. It even has a short name (can be condensed to 5 characters) so all you folks typing on your new iPads can easily guess.

Can you name this car?

Qualifier: Marque specialists ( I know who you are!) must provide full model details, or no iPad for you. 😛

Not a real hard one today, as I’m a bit busy, sorry!

(I’m taking Chris back to school for Spring Quarter this afternoon, then heading down to Portland for the day Tuesday.)

Here’s a weekend fun one for you. Two cars are a giveaway, but the main subject is a tad esoteric. MarkC is disqualified as he was my co-driver on this event.

Photo taken at Whitefish Lake, Montana.

Since we’ve had two Maseratis show up this week I figured I’d make it a triple and finish out on Friday with this study of a rain moistened badge. If you are feeling particularly car-geeky go ahead and guess the model.

Just an FYI, I’ll be working behind the scenes over the next few days (maybe weeks depending upon schedule) to build and deploy a new server for this, and my other websites. Yes, I said websites in plural; I have a bunch, some well-known, others not so much. As part of my departure from d.f I’m consolidating all my scattered web properties to a single server. At the moment they are found on either five different d.f shared hosting servers (this site, for example uses two servers, one web, one database), or on my aging personal server, a 233MHz G3 running WebSTAR(!) which serves up most of the images here on c.g.o as well as still running the now-retired, but still used www.goolsbee.org.

Performance may actually improve. We’ll see.

Depending upon where I finally end up plying my trade (I’m in the running for as many as four good gigs right now, stay tuned) the server may go with me, or stay here at digital.forest. Again, stay tuned. I’ll post announcements as major changes take place, so there could be some downtime.

There are two “fakey-do” cars in this photo. One is very easy to spot. The other? It might be a challenge.

Bonus points for naming the underlying/previous identity of the donor chassis/engine combos.

This photo taken at the “Crusin’ to Colby” car show in Everett, WA, specifically to show two fakes in one photo… no artistic composition intended. 😉
