Nice pictures. A couple of them brought back memories. Some good, and some
not so good.
The Pantera's reminded me of the cars my father drove home from work.
Anything on the driveway was fair game for me to drive, and he sold cars for
aLincoln/Mercury dealership that also sold Pantera ($15,000 new). Once in a
while one of the cars he drove home was a Pantera and it disappeared quickly
as I took off for the evening.
The other memory was the Ford Cortina. I was taking one of these from the
dealership to the paint shop and BOTH tie rod ends came loose, one at a
time. They remained connected to the steering joints, but the front wheels
were free to flop around a little bit as I went down the road. This
happened on a the Marquam bridge on Interstate 5 in Portland. I made it to
the paint shop, but they towed the car back to the dealership.

For those mired by the elements, who need their vehicular fix for the
week.
Being lucky enough to live in an area of car-amenable weather, there are
a few local, impromptu parking lot car shows in the area, one of which
is
a) in an area of a significant amount of disposable income and
b) frequented by some semi-pro photographers.
Each week, they post pics of those in attendance, and while they are a
bit over-impressed by the high-dollar supercars, they do have an
affection for taking lots of motion shots while folks are leaving.
Some nice pics, a great Jaguar D-type featured this week.
