Any gone higher?

 

nice pic. I can't be the only one to pick up on the riddle (altitude).

me, nope...

where were you?

 

I'm going to go out on a limb an guess Mt. Evans.

 

 

Does this count?

 

At 14,130 ft? Nice shot.

 

IMHO "yes it does"...

"Do tell" on the story behind this (please)...

 

Rich guy in the middle east didn't want to wait for the car to reach his market. Bought one and had it shipped home on a plane. Not much to tell.

 

You know if I would have looked at the picture more closely (especially the airplane which appears to have Arabic wording on it) I would have put the pieces to the puzzle together on my own ...

Thanks for the reply.

Well, technically that's with some assistance, but HECK YES! Qatar I'd say.

 

great shot

 

Good story here...
I live in Denver and have been to the top of Mt. Evans in a Jaguar XK8.

On the way up, the gas vapors expanded from the tank and overwhelmed the charcoal canister. We could smell gas fumes everywhere even with the convertible top down.

Then when we parked at the top, the engine vapor locked by boiling the fuel in the lines, and we had to wait for it to cool down before we could drive down.

Pretty sure the English boys skipped high altitude testing before launching this cat.

 

Glad you didn't need a tow from 14000 feet! Incidentally, I also experienced some strong odors near the top as well. More exhaust like I think. I get that periodically but only after the car has been driven 2 to 3 hours.
