Went out to the Coronado Speed Festival yesterday to watch some racing. I'll get some racing shots (which I'm generally disappointed in) posted in the "Sports" area, but I also took what my wife refers to as "artsy-fartsy" shots:

There was also some exciting news. Evidently, Canon has now teamed with Jaguar to produce tires for Jaguar's new "L-Type":

Okay, they're not working together, but I thought it was funny...

I think I finally went to bed around 3:00am...

Great job on all of them. I'm not really a car nut, but I can look at every one of those shots and identify the car.

Really?

Mind telling me what #4 is? I'm thinking it's a Lotus, but I've no real idea.

And thanks!

It looks like a Lotus 7 to me. (Maybe this is just a trick question and an opportunity for me to embarrass myself.:lol: )

Trust me, such is not the case!

The only reason I thought it might be a Lotus is because it was parked next to a bunch of other Lotuses (or would the proper word be Loti?)...

Nice shots.
Mind telling me what #4 is? Looks like either a 7 or maybe a Super 7, unless there's another new variation.

No, but I am a descendant of Catherine Parr, who was the 6th wife of Henry VIII. That's gotten me a whole bunch of nothin'.

I think I'm also related to 80's one-hit-wonder-rock-phenom John Parr...

Hmmmm... Have to register and sign in at that link.

No biggie; don't believe I'm related to him.

I'm also no relation to the family in the movie "The Incredibles", or the crazy old guy in The Blair Witch Project"...
