OK, I’m hoping this one will finally stump Roger a good one, and then when I reveal (or perhaps some really smart reader names it) he’ll slap his forehead so hard I hear the echo off the Cascade foothills.
Name that car.

I am a “car guy”… I love old cars.
Hey, I’m famous!
OK, so not really, my CAR is famous. The 65E has been selected to grace AutoBlog this morning. They chose it for the “Reader Ride of the Day” I’m honored.
Last time I was linked from there (the photo of the aston martin up on blocks sent by my friend Jerome in New Zealand) my traffic shot through the roof, and I picked up a few new readers. Welcome folks. I’m a Network Geek who works for a Web Hosting and Colocation company headquartered in Seattle named digital.forest. We’ve been around for over 12 years, which in web-time is a geological time-scale. I rarely talk about work here though, as this is my personal site. I mainly talk about, and really more often just SHOW PICTURES of cars. I attend vintage rallies in my Dad’s old Jaguar, and love to photograph old cars. The most common “feature” here is a “name that car” photo of the day, where car geeks look at things and display their depth of obscure car knowledge. The reigning big-brained car geek is Roger, who knows (almost) everything. So if you know your stuff, hang around and see if you can outwit him. 😉
Thanks to Damon & Alex over at Autoblog for the pick. Again, I’m honored.

Name That Car… another str8.
This one could be really tough. Continuing on the theme of odd engine bay shots with straight-eight mills….
Yet Another Name That Car!
This one looks hard, but has a some serious dead giveaway clues all over it.
Since I’m shocked that nobody (even Roger!) guessed the last one (the Aston DB2) I’ll throw out this easy one.
Name That Car
OK, this (I hope) will be a tough one. However somebody… and you know who you are Tom(!)… guessed wrong on the Lusso, which would be right on this car. Of course Tom guessed via AIM/iChat, not here on the blog, but maybe he’ll come out of his shell and guess right on this one.
He had the Marque, but not the Model. Bonus points for guessing that right.

Movie Cliché #42
E-type going off of cliff:
From the classic 60’s flick “Danger: Diabolik!”
Car Photo of the Day:
Lots of talk of late on the E-type mailing list about “sexy cars” as a British car mag named the Fiat 500 the sexiest(wtf?) The E-type ended up at #90, go figure.
One car that a lot of guys named as sexy is the one pictured above. Can you name it?
