No problem! That's my father. He was pretty active in all sorts of events... autocross, rally, gymkhana, concours, you name it. Every time I take him down to Virginia International Raceway, he tells me the same old stories over and over.

The only other one I have is the one I recently posted in this thread (when the car was being featured on a TV show). I do plan on asking him to dig up some more photos so I can get them scanned. Once I do that, I'll share them.

When I got these scanned today, I noticed more details than I hadn't before. In one of them, you can see a Bugeye Sprite in the background. My dad had one of those too (I actually remember that one... unlike his Porsche and MGs).

I almost forgot about these. I recently took them at the Kemp Auto Museum in St Louis. They have a beautiful collection of cars, and I highly recommend giving them a visit. They specialize in Mercedes Benz, but their collection also includes a few others... including this 1962 356 and 1955 550.

I snapped this picture in 1998 when we were on the track at Laguna Sea at the same time as the #46 Le Mans car.

OK, I can't give any details on this car other than the caption said it was hit by a drunken taxi driver. No idea where or when, but looks like the car was involved at some point in it's history in a rally, perhaps, so I'm guessing somewhere "on the Continent".
