Random Photo Week — Clouds, Cactii, Cars, and Clues… to the Mystery Destination

Back for another try at this week’s Mystery Destination Quiz? I’ll be revealing the answer tomorrow, but if you’ve figured it out beforehand just leave a comment. Before we get to today’s clues and destination photos (there will be four for you today), let’s continue with this week’s other random subjects: Dramatic Skies, Automobiles, and Desert Color. We’ll start with some cactus color:

And transition an El Paso desert sunset:

Let’s take a look at another favorite car. I once owned a roadster version of this next automobile, which I drove for a decade or so:

Hmmm…. I notice both of today’s automobiles are English in origin. And both originate from the 1960s. I wonder if that’s a clue to this week’s Mystery Destination? Or were they meant to deceive? Just in case, I’ll give you three automobile(?) hints in today’s clue list:

Automobile Clue #1: Mini Moke
Automobile(?) Clue #2: Rover
Automobile Clue #3: KAR 120C
- Character One (referring to KAR 120C): “I know every nut and bolt. I built it myself!”
- Character Two’s reply: “Then you’re just the man I need. It keeps overheating in traffic. Perhaps you’d care to advise me.”
Remember the clue earlier this week about featured numbers? Try this infamous exchange:
- Protagonist: “Who are you?”
- Antagonist: “The new Number Two.”
- Protagonist: “Who is Number One?”
- Antagonist: “You are Number Six.”
- Protagonist: “I am not a number. I am a free man!”
- Antagonist: [Hearty, diabolical laughter]
The ending of this hit show was so controversial that the star/creator/producer had to flee his home country and relocate to Switzerland.
“Be seeing you.” Tomorrow, that is, for the Big Reveal.
