Car Photo of the Day: 917

Always impressive to see, in any context, the Porsche 917 commands respect. This Porker was spotted in the paddock of the NW Historics in Kent, WA last summer.

Here is a Mulsanne Straight spectator viewpoint of a passing 917:

If you need more time to appreciate the machine, here’s some more footage courtesy of Mr. Steve McQueen and the movie classic Le Mans:

Nicholas & I awoke early to get ourselves up to the Vancouver area for a JCNA Slalom.

Car Photo of the Day: Maser

The above Maserati was seen at the 2008 New England 1000, being driven by the Rallymaster Rich Taylor.

In other news there will be no Jaguar pics tonight… I found out late last night that the JCNA slalom in Canada I intended to drive to this morning is actually going to be happening tomorrow. So today I’ll be doing all those things I planned to do Sunday. Namely make a batch of BioDiesel, fix our damn lawnmower (never. buy. Craftsman. ever. again.) Maybe cut the grass if successful.

At least it has cooled off. 61°F right now where as it was 90°F here yesterday.
