Back in 2005, Ralph Lauren displayed his truly world class car collection at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition was entitled "Speed, Style, and Beauty." The show was well worth the trip to go and see it. Here from deep within my hard drive are photos I took at that show. Some are a tad blurry because the light was low and I did not have a tripod. Click on the pic below to see the rest. If you want to see truly phenominal photos of these cars, I'd recommend you pick up the official book of the exhibition shot by celebrated photographer Michael Furman.
Since it's winter, I thought I would go back in time to a wet and wonderful weekend when I saw the American Bugatti Club members race their wonderful cars on the rain-soaked Watkins Glen course. The rain was so heavy that day that most of the vintage racers stayed off the track. But not the ABC members, who braved it out on their skinny tires to the delight of the few spectators who bothered to show up! I took these photos at the long sweeping turn 6.
