Winner: Week 40 - Theme chosen by LongbowX


65877719.jpg


THEME: In his words: "Unusual. Pick a strange car to photograph. It doesn't have to be rare. All it has to be is funny looking. I'm pretty open with this. I also will accept just a rare car of any kind. "





I found this at a vintage event. I'll put this down as an unusual car carrier... Not my entry, but I thought it was interesting way to carry your racing car.

Resize the original to 400px wide, save it as a different image and upload both. Then on your post, link the image of the preview to the bigger image's URL. 👍


I saw a car yesterday that I had never seen before, but I didn't have my camera with me. :banghead:
I was just entering local BMW's dealer to ask the price for some parts and he was just leaving.

It was a bright red car, shaped just like a 50's F1 car, wheels and all. Had a strong grunt too. Don't have the faintest idea what it was, hope to see it again when I have my camera with me, before this comp closes. 👍

Could it have been a Light Car Company Rocket? I seem to recall Rinspeed also did a limited run of a similar car but it was front-engined instead of mid. Can't for the life of me remember the name of it.
 
No, that one has a notoriously "modern" look to it.
The one I saw was a lot along the lines of a Dino F1 or a Maserati 250F. Fully exposed wheels, rivets in the body panels, and all that stuff.

Dammit! Now I really want to know what it was. :ouch:
 
I thought I should inform people competing (and those who have yet to submit their entry )- that this contest will close 2 hours later than normal, so 7:30GMT (3:00pm EST) due to my unavailability at that time. Thank you. ^^;
