LE MANS AND STUFF


I WATCHED THE 1971 STEVE MCQUEEN MOVIE LE MANS LAST NIGHT. THERE IS SOME VERY SEXY RACING FOOTAGE (AND CRASHES) AND FOR ALL US STYLE/DESIGN JUNKIES THERE ARE SOME GREAT MOMENTS AS WELL, (FERRARI, PORSCHE, HEUER WATCHES ETC...) BUT, IT WAS A CHALLENGE TO WATCH ALL OF IT IN ONE SITTING. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT GOT ME SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR IMAGES AND I FOUND COLLECTORS STUDIO, A SITE OF RARE AUTO RACING MEMORABILIA. VERY COOL.
YOU COULD OWN THIS
OR ALL THIS:

those watches are stunning. the engraving on the back- the logos particularly- seem to all be hand etched. wow, that craftsmanship is long gone. nice photos.

Timely. They just had the Steve McQueen car show at the Boy's Republic in Chino Hills last Saturday. The guy had some nice cars.
