"All the fun happens between 40 miles an hour and 120..."

Metaphysics, Kramer, and a VW bus.

The poster that launched a thousand petrolhead addictions...

I wish I still had mine.

Light and shadow

The best part of photographing endurance racing....the magic that dawn and dusk light creates.
It adds a whole new dimension to power and speed.

Dewis, Wallace, and some Jags.

"All he's got to do is keep his foot hard down. 
Don't lift that little pedal...keep it flat to the board."

Jaguar F-TYPE V8 S recreates historic sprint test in Jabbeke, Belgium

 "Sixty years after Jaguar's legendary test driver Norman Dewis achieved a world record average flying mile speed of 172.4mph in a modified XK 120. Jaguar returned to Jabbeke, Belgium on Saturday 2 March for another sprint test - this time with a new Jaguar F-TYPE V8S and 1988 Le Mans 24 hour race-winning driver Andy Wallace."

The car was the one

While reading Mark Donohue's book "The Unfair Advantage", I came across the chapter that inspired Mark Knopfler's song "The Car was the One".

Nice to listen to a tune about cars written by a car guy...

By the way, it's chapter 6 in Donohue's book..."Cobra: Awesome Power (for a few races)".

Knopfler doesn't just write about them. He owns and races them...

Too bad there's no mention of VIR in this one (okay, I'm biased).

Redundant name....awe-inspiring car
