Sort of an easy one.

We were stuck behind this bison for quite a while. He just ambled slowly down the middle of the road. We just waited for him to finally decide to leave the road before we could pass.

What’s the oddest thing you’ve had blocking your progress?

Keeping with the Montana theme of the last CPotD, this image was shot not far outside of Virginia City, Montana.

An odd thing about my personality: I am generally LOUSY at remembering people. This includes people who are “famous” or have “celebrity”. Many times in my life (more often then not on car rallies, but not always) I’ve sat down, and introduced myself to somebody, who turns out to be somebody I should have known anyway! It was certainly the case here. At Virginia City this person and my father were sitting and talking on a pair of rocking chairs while everyone else on the rally explored the quaint little semi-ghost town. I was intent on shooting photos of cars and wandered by, and introduced myself. Oddly, this gentleman recognized my name, as a colleague of his had mentioned me to him a few days earlier(!) I had no clue who he was. My father filled me in later after we I had made this shot. Can you name the person?

If we get a discussion going in the comments I’ll tell you others I’ve stumbled into in a like manner.

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?)
