I thought I'd mention a book I noticed last night at the local book store. It is called McQueen's Machines, and is basically a coffee table book focused on the cars and bikes owned and operated by Steve McQueen. The way this post stays a little on topic here is that he owned a 1967 Cooper and there is a cool story about him stopping on the side of the road to relieve himself and the car rolling away. Some nice pics of the Cooper and some of his other great 50's & 60's cars also.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." - Jack Kerouac

 

Here you go ...



He appears to be dressed to match the car !?!?

That guy had it goin'. He should have done Bullit in a Mini!

 

Nobody ever told him that one off-center rally light looked funny.

 

I remember reading that he once said an 850 Mini "...didn't have enough power to pull the skin off of a grape." In the context of the article, it wasn't a negative remark.
