Drivers and mechanics often camped alongside their cars using tents and other equipment that were strapped to their cars. In this photograph, taken in Mongolia during a five-day delay as they waited for parts, the driver and mechanic of the Thomas Flyer enjoy a libation. Close inspection of the photograph reveals that the Flyer’s tires are wrapped with ropes, which were used to improve traction. The photograph is labeled, appropriately enough, Camp (hard luck).
