LANCIA DELTA ASTRA MARLBORO PEDRO DIEGO 1992 RALLYE CATALUNYA

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you out there. While watching Tulsa rolling over Hawaii, I have here Pedro Diego's Lancia. There were many versions of Pedro car which were liveried differently from one Rally to another. This one surprisingly carries no Tag Heuer sponsorship that he has been long associated with.

TOYOTA CELICA ST205 CAMPOFRIO MARLBORO JOSE MARIA PONCE 1998 EL CORTE INGLES

At the tail end of its service, this ST205 became less competitive and couldn't give the much needed lift to Ponce in this 1998 Rally El Corte Ingles. Still it is one of the best looking ST205 around.

BMW 635CSi LUCKY STRIKE 1983 ETCC DELCOURT SWYSEN BAERT

An iconic race machine, before the existence of the mighty M3.

TOYOTA COROLLA WRC BENSON & HEDGES KANKKUNEN 2001 EL CORTE INGLES

The one that fits both the man and the machine. B&H in its loudest color scheme for a colorful driver. Juha Kankkunen has more than 150 world rally starts to his credential. A Finnish who's not going to finish that easy.

TOYOTA CELICA GT-4 ST185 BELGA 1994 BOUCLES DE SPA CHATROIT

Actual car as raced in 1994 Ypres Rally. The same chassis that won Rallye Monte Carlo the year before

ONE FOR THE ROAD...2009 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE

This coming weekend the good old College Football 2010 season will start. The defending champs, the great Alabama Crimson Tide has a shot at repeating. This car, in the form of stock, which is what car racing all about down south. When I was there, Davey Allison was a folk hero and Talladega was simply out of this world for its tailgating. Back to football, they certainly going to have a good season.....perhaps #14! ROLL TIDE!!!

BMW 528i GITANES JARRIER TRINTIGNANT TASSIN 1982 ETCC ROUND 9 SPA 24 HOURS

The 2nd place car, crossed the finish line 3 laps behind 528i Juma Bastos #3. Driven by Jean-Pierre Jarrier, Jean-Loius Trignant and Thierry Tassin. Funny that Faster43 decal places France flag next to Tassin's name. I reserve all the rights of first pix to its rightful owner with thanks.
