Another year - another calendar with a McLaren F1 image...

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:



That calendar is available for sale here if you are interested:

Re: Another year - another calendar with a McLaren F1 image...

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



Here's the larger version of that one:



...and the link if you want one:

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

Screw making decisions - I just buy both. 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.

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

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.
