I collect a lot of racing cars and assorted images for a screen saver (as well as having a collection of aesthetically pleasing images)
thought a collective dump might be a good thread so we could share.
that and Much more http://www.khulsey.com/masters_tony_matthews.html

Apparently, you appreciate the awesomeness of cutaway drawings!
Go here and gorge in self-indulgence:

It's currently 95 pages (and growing) of drawings covering everything automotive, and then some. BTW, the original artists are the most prolific contributors on the thread - including Tony Matthews, who penned your example.
Enjoy!

I have some random cool stuff--some cool pics. I have to see how motivated I am to load them up to photobucket.

does this count. My friend is in Afganatan and he ordered this for me from England. Its a Wedding gift. No I am not married yet but working on it. I have to say its on my list of best gifts of all time.
The cat and dog like it to.
I am working on getting my photodump up on the bucket...I may have this done tonight.
I like to have alot of pictures of different cars because I like to change my desktop weekly.
Lately I have been having to find alot of Porsche pictures for my desktop at work. So if anyone has some cool Porsche related pictures, let me have them.
I have a datsun 510 cutaway on my wall at home. Good stuff.

My god man. What a collection. I did not get any work done all night.
Dumb question. Why can't I save any of the pics from the Motormania site?
When I was still a "fan" of E-Bay, I used to scan the auctions for those really unusual cars, both here and the overseas auctions. Things like Australian market Chrysler products, or South African Ford products. I wanted to commit to cd to free up space....but did a massive dump instead.

Awesome.
On page 6 you've got a picture titled 944 Rally car (it's actualy a 924 GT/GTS/GTS can't tell). Do you have any more details of that car?
In reply to ManBearSTIG:
Weird - I'm not sure? In my browser (Chrome) you can just right-click an image and choose to save it.
In reply to Adrian_Thompson:
The photoblog is part of the Tumblr network - my Tumblr account features a dashboard of posts from the other tumblogs I follw, and I re-post any I think are great to Motomania. In the case of the 924, the post was re-blogged from another user who didn't list the source of the image or details about the car.
However, Google saves the day: It seems that it's Walter Röhrl's 1981 Porsche 924 GTS driven during the 2008 Rallye Deutschland: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Porsche_924_GTS_-_2008_Rallye_Deutschland.jpg
Sticky accelerator? or just a floor mat getting stuck under the pedal?
