| I'll apologize now... I found the corkscrew and pretty much didn't move the rest of the day. So if all the pics look similar... this is why. Alfa Romeo 6C-2500SS 
The fence messes up the shot... but the fact that he's giving the pass signal to the driver behind... while still in the corkscrew is impressive.
