This 1 is 4U Mr. Goolsbee. NAME THAT CAR

Without giving you a couple of clues you would never in a million years guess the name of this car as only 2 were ever made. I've included it because it is such an interesting car with its double supercharger, 4L V 12 engine and the fact that it is a very significant historic car. Both examples survive…

Hey Mr. Sheik Shake That Oil Well (Aston Martin One-77)

Wow! Sometimes I scare myself on how uncanny the accuracy of my crystal ball can be. Here is a recent case where it appears to be dead on.

On May 3/2010 I wrote a blog post on the £1.2 Million One-77 Aston Martin. I predicted that only Arab Sheiks could afford these cars and that Aston Martin was essentially being kept afloat by Arab Sheiks "reciprocating to play in each others "sand-boxes". The article below… Continue

Name that vintage race car.

Race cars are a little more difficult to identify than regular cars. I believe the last entry we had was THIS PORSCHE. See if you can identify this beauty. There is a big clue about the car in the picture itself. Its just a matter of knowing a thing or two about race cars and interpreting the clue. It should be quite easy once you interpret the clue to name the… Continue
