Welcome to GALPOT Weekly #09/13 a review of the last seven posts at "

The week started with a look at a
2009 Dodge Pace Truck seen above at Talledega where it performed in the Spring Aaron's 499.
Tuesday's post, the last in the present series of Tuesday MG posts, featured a Celebrity MG Metro Turbo
that was raced by invited drivers in the 1989 ESSO Metro Challenge, the car is seen above at Oulton Park with British Touring Car racer Jerry Mahoney at the wheel.
Among the may fascinating vehicles on display at this years
Race Retro which was reviewed on Wednesday was this recreation of a steam powered 1905 White Sprint Car that is scheduled to appear at the Sywell Classic Pistons and Props event at the end of September.
Thursdays blog returned to North Carolina where this
Buick Regal Short Track Cup car was built by the legendary Banjo Matthews for Bobby Allison to drive in his 1983 Cup winning season.
Ferrari Friday returned to Goodwood for a look at the car that was reputedly sold privately last year for more than twice as much as any car ever sold at auction, namely the US$ 35 million
Ferrari 250 GTO chassis #3505 that won two Austrian GT championships for actor actor Gunther Philipp in 1963 and 1964.
Yesterdays post looked at the
Lotus Honda 99T of the type that Ayrton Senna drove to the last two Lotus Grand Prix victories in 1987 which helped Ayrton and Lotus third in the World Drivers and World Constructors championships respectively.

Americana Thursdays post featured this 1985 "Car of Tomorrow" Cadillac Sedan de Ville which to my mind bears a striking similarity to the marginally older Volvo 760 from just about any angle.
North Carolina heiress Mamie Spears Reynolds was just 20 years old when she bought this Ferrari 250 GTO in 1963 as you can read on Ferrari Friday's post on the trip to New York to buy the car she found more than she bargained for.
You could order a 176mph Vauxhall Lotus Carlton, like the one featured in yesterday's post, any colour you liked so long as it was Imperial Green.
