    Pure……......., I guess is how you would describe these pics. The Ivo/Norm pic is a Favorite, Norm in his stroker hat and Tommy all business in his crash helmet, who won?! ( Doesn't really matter). Boy Howdy, does it get any better?!!!!!!!

    Even though it’s not a very clear shot, it’s clear to me that I really like this coupe in the background of the photo posted above ^ by @ramblin dan

    They cropped the cover photo, removing the fellow in the background that is so bow legged, he couldn't catch a pig in a ditch.
    Awesome stuff

  6. It is really great seeing Kodachrome photos, they just have life about them that other colour photos just don't have. It is a shame when an amazing photo starts to colour shift and it loses that rich life like colour.

    Even though this has colour shifted this is still one of my favourite photos in my collection, so much history, icons and eye candy in one photo.

    Tom ran 122 mph with not thought about a roll bar. A different time for sure.

    ^Jimmy^, the photos have a 'warmness' to them that beckons to the eye. The A is definitely unique, but the rail job is really special! Do you have any more info on that? Thanks,Carp.
