A reunion to remember
Our friends at Ultimate Car Page have compiled an excellent 270-shot photo gallery and recap of the vintage-racing action at the recent Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Check out: Back onTrack.

Hollywood Jaguar
While film-icon Clark Gable’s custom Duesenberg failed to sell at auction in Pebble Beach, his original 1949 Jaguar XK120 roadster was quite a hit at the Concours, winning best of class. Read the fascinating history of the early XK at Sportscardigest.com. Check out: Now That’s Provenance.

Annals of commerce
AutoWeek.com turned us on to this lengthy classified ad in Hemmings that describes with clever humor the pluses and minuses of a gnarly 1956 Dodge Power Wagon for sale. Check out: Testosterone Beast.

Motors in Moscow
News from the increasingly important Moscow Motor Show from the British auto website, Autocar.com, with a story and photo gallery. Check out: Russian Models, Too.

Meanwhile, out in the street
Road rage, Russian-style, with a couple of bozos duking it out in the middle of traffic. Watch for the appearance of the peacemaking giant, and what happens when he leaves. Check out: It Never Ends.

Scantily clad
This is the “bonus set” slide show of that fine enterprise, Bikini Girls & Cars. Beautiful bodies of both varieties. Check out: Hard to Beat.

Quick commute
This video shows David Coulthard doing something I’ve always wanted to do: drive a Red Bull Formula 1 car through the Lincoln Tunnel at around 190 mph. Check out: Nice Echo.
