Best Old School Cat Photo ?

So we have seen the best old school photo was "The Cigarette" which was a beautiful mono, but what is the best cat photo ever.

Please post your suggestions any make any length just needs to look fab and fast.

But surely not the fayva crash.

Angelo Meli, who worked for Fayva Had stills of all 15 miles that Boat ran before it crashed, the crash wasn't even close to the best shot. He had the Negatives at a photo company having Large photos made of the Perfect pics. Sombody who didn't like Angelo noticed them at the Photo shop and Picked them up for him and they where never to be seen again. I saw all the photos before he took them in to have the larger ones made and some where perfect where you could see every slice the blade tips where making in the water. I would have got a copy if the didn't get stolen...

Fast Donzi,

Thats a real shame to hear I bet they were great photos, what a huge loss.

about 6 months after the accident I got a copy of the video of the whole race that Fayva crashed at.

Great video but I have not watched it for years from memory I think Wolverine won the race.

Have you got any other great cat stills to show.

The Fayva pics were probably very cool, but one of the most memorable cat photos in my mind was the Skater 32, Agitator, standing almost straight up. Might have been a Freeze Frame pic, but I'm not sure.

Let's get the pictures rolling in!

That Kaiser boat was just awesome. No safety pods, but sums up for me what old school cats were all about - out and out speed machines.

It's hard to beat this one of Express in New York before she became Panosonic.

That was the first boat that came to my mind when I read the topic of this thread. Its the first cat that I really remember from when I was a kid. I just saw that boat last week parked outside.
