I saw this calendar at the store yesterday with images from Ron Kimball - one month features XP4, which certainly caught my eye.

Here's a larger version of the image being used:

While poking around on that website, I found another 2008 calendar featuring a different Ron Kimball photo of XP4.

Can you stop this? Every time you post one of these I end up buying them :rofl: thanks for the find :thumbsup:.

Hmmmm...this is a pretty hard decision! i like the F1 image of the first one, but he second one has an F50 GT...

Also, on the second one, the car to the right of the Veyron, what is that?

Screw making decisions - I just buy both. :lol2: Actually, while I do agree the first shot of XP4 is better, I think the second calendar is significantly better overall. Heck, one of the cars on the first one is just a silly replica. :uhoh:

Spyker C8 Double 12 S - a similar shot to this one:

Kimball rocks :thumbsup:

I agree completely. I stumbled upon him on the lawn at Pebble Beach last year while he was shooting the 'Best of Show' winner. I saw a pause in the action while the car was being repositioned and took the opportunity to tell him how much I truly enjoy his automotive photography. Unfortunately the situation didn't present itself for me to ask about the silver F1 he photographed - though I still suspect it may have been #068.
