when your rear wheel parts company with your race car and passes you in the turn, it must be Monday

Photo from http://5window.tumblr.com/ I think, it might have been http://motomania.tumblr.com/ ... I can't recall.

Funniest photo I've seen all day. While I'm on the topic; overheard at the car show today " this girl asked if she could get in my Minerva, so I said "Sure go ahead".. and waited til she was halfway in, and then said "I'm sure the owner won't mind . . . " and she freaked out.

new color photos of 1940's dry lake bed hot rod racing

(Actually this one is a "new" picture. It's of the Reelers c.c. out of LA, taken within the last 3 years. AJ Elias commented) Well it has an old vintage look, it fooled me!

Well one black and white photo had to find a good place to be posted. Not like anyone is going to complain.

The Bugnotti by Delahaye USA

the marvelous paintings of Nicola Wood

These were both commisioned by Peter Mullins ( Mullins museum, new in the Los Angelos area http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/mullin-museum-is-finally-open-but-only.html )

I met Nicola at the Del Mar Concours and when I looked at these two photos I knew I had to post them, and share with you the beautiful artistic ability. See her gallery of automotive art at: http://nicolawood.com/gallery/gallery_page1.html

These images are pale in comparison to the originals I saw at the car show, but my computer garbled the images and they got knocked akimbo. So instead of the bigger better variety I took, here are two from her website, used with permission, to tempt and tease you to look at the rest of her paintings.

The red Delahaye can be seen here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/mullin-museum-is-finally-open-but-only.html
