All Things Ski Cars

[Zrxman01]

Perhaps not s “ski car” but on a powder day this is definitely how I feel.

Don't forget the red 1969 Cougar XR7 in James Bonds, "On Her Majesties Secret Service" with George Lazenby. Mines blue.

Is that from a James Bond movie out take? It looks like Sean Connery.

I believe it is Toni Sailer.

This was first posted by crgildart a long time ago on page 3 of the thread. I was just looking at all the pics when I saw this one and it brought me up short. There is something VERY wrong about this picture that nobody noticed. Anyone see it now? (No, it's not because the skis are pointed forward, it's more fundamental than that, though a car with skis on it parked at home plate in a baseball stadium is a bit odd in itself.)

I'll post the answer a bit later to give folks a little time to work on it.

Nobody chimed in, so I'll answer my own riddle. What's wrong with the picture of the car with skis on it parked in a baseball stadium in front of home plate with two young people siting on the hood, and one "playing" sax? The problem is that the sax player's hands are wrong. You play all woodwind instruments, not just saxophone, with your left hand on top and your right hand on the bottom, this guy is opposite. To a musician it looks like someone with their skis on backwards does to a skier. Weird.

You should put both toe and heel in-between the two racks and that photo has the bindings split with the toe between the two racks and the heel behind the back rack. It also looks like only one ski is pointed forward and one is tail forward.

You're likely the only Pugster who would've noticed that.
I'm with @Uncle-A on this one.

Actually, look at the "SS" on the front fender. It looks more like a"22". That picture is printed in mirror image, so the sax player is legit.

Is that true for a left-handed person because a left-handed guitar plays in reverse don't they?

Took this photo in Vail a few weeks ago.

Actually, that was my first thought when @Posaune re-posted it, but being a trumpet player, I wasn't sure. It just looked awkward. My second thoughts was the choice of tires for a ski car and tips forward. I didn't notice the binding placement.

I believe so. I don't think they make lefty saxes; they do make lefty guitars although some people play right handed guitars upside down and strung upside down so they can pick up most any guitar and play it. Hendrix played a righty guitar, but restrung it lefty.

Buy that man a beer. They ARE T/A tires, not A\T!
