Just saw 3 Ferrari's travelling in tandem down the Auckland Sothern motorway - at least one looked like an F40, then a Morgan and an early 911.
I got a tingly feeling....
ok - allegory got to tortured...
Pretty sure the air being sucked through those carbs caused the loss of air pressure\tornado in Devonport the other day.
Really enjoyed it - Niki seems happy with it and the Hunt website seem happy as well, given how poorly the movie could have turned out (I recently watched Steve McQueen's Le Mans) it's a pass and my...
Completely agree re tossers - if you look at the photos on Groundsky it had to be obvious to the drivers of these leaking cars what was happening.
Thanks for posting these - always good to see your own car - mines the Citroen heading for possibly it's only ever victory.
The munted Renault got loose in the oil\saw dust on the sweeper...
Thanks for the link, been very interesting.
That's crazy, nothing the driver could have done (well at least if I was driving) and two other cars already parked there.

I purchased this photo off a collector eight years ago, what makes it special is on the back Denny has written "The reason I look spaced out here is because Clermont was very bad circuit for...
My two seconds of fame was the lovely overhead shot of my Golden Sand E Type Roadster, it was a magnificant event and I thought the documentary captured the spirit really well.

I think your probably right Roger - the E has toured the south three times now so knows the way including Dunedin Street race and Coronet Peak hill climb.
Cheers
This looks like a great event, seriously thinking about entering next year - bit of a treak from Auckland though.
Just have to decide if it is Citroen BX16v or E Type Roadster - Citroen much...
I think I got an email from one of the local motorsport services companies saying they were putting a team in....
Here's a drivers view:

I have a suggestion for Dave and the blue car - I was lucky enough to be invited to the Leadfoot Festival in my E Type Roadster this year, I like most particpants, were blown away by the event and it...
