The rear view camera is just hilarious. I can't believe an organization wouldn't black flag them all for a mid-race discussion.

Today was the launch of the annual Historic Acropolis Rally, here in Greece. I went with my dad, and took some (bad) pictures.
http://imgur.com/a/1Kn6S

Most of them are on the ramp, due to time constraints.

(There's a few more, but imgur has a limit to how many pictures you can have, and I mostly trimmed chaff anyway, as well as a picture I took with Mrs. Pons)

For something more obvious (huge):


Renault 5 Maxi


Patrizia Pons, Lucky, and the 037 they would be driving


A wheel


A Lancia 037, and another Lancia 037

Yeah, seriously. #48 in particular seems to be a bit of a problem child.

He ain't lying. I posted before the view you get when the driver of one of those decides he's had enough and fucks off. This is from about 50 or so:

This 55 Pontiac Chieftain Star Chief pulled in down the street. Snapped a shot and was thinking about walking down for a closer look but it pulled out a minute later.

Back in the days when hood ornaments were freakin' art.

Today was a really goddamn good day for cars. I don't know what was special about this particular Saturday but it seemed like everyone was out cruising with their toys.

Bunch of old vettes (and a C7), old mustangs, an F430, a couple model t's, and even an Aventador.

I felt inferior but it was nice hearing the engines.

Very good day for cars, I almost got ran over by a Ferrari f12 who decided to take a shortcut down a one way street. They look pretty amazing in yellow and the sound...
