Theres a good marinade you can apply late in a roast, a mix of Soy sauce, Dijon mustard and honey or if you can find it Soy, Pomegranate Molasses and a bit of Olive oil, gives a nice crust and a sweet/sour flavour, but not too sweet

ERC, the Healeys in the background, thanks, I have some details from that meeting - Ardmore- Pukekohe Reunion, but no photos, unsure, [ memory fading ] if I attended it or not. and the Frank Karl Healey is yellow, which helps me with a couple of other photos.
cheers, Roger D
I'm with you on this Ray.Originally Posted by ERC
If I'd studied the programme beforehand Alan, I would have taken more pics for you! The label on the pics shows it to be Friday 20th. If you need a larger file, PM me your email address and I'll send it.
Not sure about others on here, but I really don't mind if people are cruising or going hell for leather. It is just so good to see such a great variety of cars out there being exercised, which is why I usually go to day 1, before the inevitable attrition.
Roger, I think the Ardmore reunion was March 1983 and these pics were December.
Thanks Rhys. Are you able to identify #930/5 for me yet?
seaqnmac27. Sounds good to me - love pomegranate molasses... After cars, food is my other passion -plus traditional jazz of course. Will stick mainly to the cars on here I think, but watching the final of Masterchef as I write this, after hosting a BBQ at home.

Bored with filing this morning, so posted another handful...
Is this the same Chris Atkinson in both of the next 2 pics? I'm guessing yes, but basing that on helmet make. I know Chris well enough to know he is a very, very competent driver of the Formula Juniors, but not seen him in a Surtees before.
This #35 is definitely the BRM! (see post #1248, where we are still awaiting Terry's labelling...)
Update January 29th: Just happened to bump into (Formula Junior) Chris Atkinson at the rather wonderful 'Caffeine & Classics' informal monthly meet at Smale's Farm, Takapuna. Two different Chris Atkinsons, so my guess was wrong. It happens...

That is not Coventry, well not as it is as of yesterday! I have a feeling there is something similar though so will have a look when I go in today.
In OZ sarcasm is generally regarded as the lowest form of wit. I can not of course speak for NZ......Bored with filing this morning, so posted another handful...

Come on folks let us not spoil this wonderful thread with unnecessary comments. If you have an issue with an individual that you feel strongly about, use the Private Message option.
You both make wonderful contributions to this site.

Unfortunately Ken, some people cannot accept that a ridiculous amount of time is spent to get images onto this thread for the enjoyment of everyone who likes looking at car pics. Terry continues to take pot shots without offering any assistance to resolve the hiccups that photographers face.
Of the pics posted earlier, #1248, only a couple have I correctly identified so back to the research I suppose. Sorry Terry, but you missed the opportunity to score some Brownie points. By the way, the second part of the quote you also missed the obvious response:
“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.” Oscar Wilde
Ken, I won't have a go again, but judging by several PM's received, all others are happy enough, with or without captions. So like Nigel, no change from me.
I have had a private request for more of Dad's pics, but although I have his pre-war Donington glass plate negatives and I think, all the film negatives and slides, post war, he didn't actually take many.
At most of the 1950's Mallory events we attended as a family, plus the 1962 British GP at Aintree, without a long lens of any sort or a media pass, most of the spectator areas were then, and now, not photographer friendly, so sorry, there won't be many more. I do have one or two that I haven't yet posted on here.

Called in at the 'Caffeine & Classics' meet at Smales Farm this morning for a few minutes. A brilliant range of cars there but also huge numbers for a holiday weekend. Extremely popular and a mix of the ordinary to the extraordinary. Just a couple of sets, posted from the laptop whilst watching motorsport on TV3.
Almost looks like big brother to...
...little brother.

This is awesome Alan!
Here are a few more for Alan taken on the Sunday. He must have been trying then as he's almost off the track in one shot and he's in front of Kenny in another!
Ray, I think your id question is the Humber Warwick, now displayed differently, if I could read that number plate I could be more sure.
Thanks Rhys. That will do me! May even make a second visit when we come over later in the year. Great that exhibits are rotated.
A touch of white, red and blue.
A good bit of track management, filling this trench with crushed stones.
Neil Tolich said he'd take it easy in a tribute race for the late Ivan Selak, driving 'Bluey'. I'm sure Ivan would have been proud of Neil's win in the first ERC handicap, but taking it easy? Not according to the lap times!
Contrasts - one of the successes of the ERC Series. Last season's Convenor's Trophy winner (the top award, for sportsmanship) Francois Cronje giving new recruit Bruce Gerring the hurry up.

Right, one last hijack of Ray's thread with pictures of/from my car showing I was trying a bit too hard on one particular lap.
I blame the bumps on the second half of the DB corner for this one:
This one was probably caused by the rear wheels getting light over the brow of the previous rise:
No excuses for this one... yet...
I could well have goofed! There are 2 very similar cars, and I mixed them. There is a Standard Warwick and a Humber Snipe, both blue, both artllery wheels, but without having the photo in front when I stand in front of them it's hard to be sure!
Wow, Frans my hero of the Gordini kept that award quiet! Well deserved, the original low budget enthusiast. Congrats Frans.
It would be wonderful to see the crowds like we used to have, show up to this excellent racing facility.
Pukekohe. NZGP. Jan, 1974.
Hampton Downs. Jan. 2017.
