That's some great stuff guys. Someone should start a thread on the main page (sure it's not technical, but it;s good P-history) for famous or infamous cars and their owners!

I'd heard that their very lightly sponsored Indy entries in the early '80's were also very cash and carry.

The '79 LeMans winning K3 has been parked in the same spot at the IMS HoF museum for the past seveal years.

Its become kind of an annual ritual to go visit it every F1 weekend now...

You're looking at Century City and the cluster of buildings off to the right is the "concrete canyon" of Wilshire from Beverly Glen to Westwood. (first picture)

Bingo,
The first pic is looking to the West, the Pacific ocean is out there in the distance. The green in front of Century city is Beverly Hills.
The Second pic is looking East and downtown. The third is inbetween the two. The string of buildings that are spaced apart ( I'm guessing ) are on Wilshire Blvd. ?

I Think? The high ground in the background is Palos Verdes.
