Category: Weird Seen

I carry a camera all the time, and whenever I see a weird car, I shoot it.

Note the title of the guy asking the question

Seen on LinkedIn’s Question & Answer section:

Now, if I were calling myself a “Computer Networking Professional” I’d commit seppeku before I posted a question like that.
I had to restrain myself from answering with a pithy reply.

The original is here… at least until the guy realizes how embarrassing it is and pulls it down.

Classic Motorsports image revealed

As I noted previously the guys on the Jag-Lovers E-type mailing list/forum alerted me to a photograph of my car, with me at the wheel and my dad in the passenger seat. I went off looking for it, unsuccessfully. I finally found it the other night at a Fred Meyer store. Here it is:

This photo was taken on the fourth day of the 2006 Going to the Sun Rally. The shot was taken by the Rally’s official photographer Will Brewster.

Peripatetic

Apparently a photograph of me & my father, driving in the 65E appears in the March 2009 issue of “Classic Motorsports“… I guess as part of the article titled “Jaguar E-type Buyer’s Guide.” I have yet to confirm this however.

Today at lunch I went to a local Barnes & Noble bookstore to see, and unfortunately could only find the January 2009 issue. I did note a British car magazine with a D-type on the cover so I flipped through it. As I was about to slide it back on the rack I noted a familiar image on the backside.

Sure enough, the famous “Miss January” shot of the 65E, which has graced the very first XKEdata.com calendar, as well as won the first annual SNG Barratt photo contest. I guess SNG are getting good milage from the image.

I didn’t buy the magazine, as it was $10.50(!) so I just snapped a photo with my cell phone. 😉
