    Nice photos Ray, Grant will be pleased to see his car. He was saying that while he was quicker than at the McLaren meeting he felt very off the pace. Then again Steve Ross said much the same. Spent lots of money and still not able to keep up.

    David Piper's 250LM Ferrari at Mallory Park. I even have a 1/43 scale model of that car.

    I was offered one of these when I was far too young to embark on a restoration! What many may not know is that the Raleigh 3 wheeler morphed into Reliant, when Raleigh decided to stick to bicycles. The car's designers bought the rights to the car and also the components that had already been manufactured. When they relocated from Nottingham to Tamworth, they had to come up with a name beginning with 'R' as many of the components had already been stamped with an 'R'! That is a bit of trivia for you...

    The UK's National Motor Museum has its own Top Gear display - including this. A museum well worth a visit. Monorail in the background.

    Space Shuttle Clarkson- love it. I will go through my pictures of the National Space Museum at Dneipropetrovsk and see if the Soviets ever did one with a ЗАПОРОЖЕЦ

    Hamish's return to NZ and the earlier practice in Dad's car didn't quite go to plan... But he was able to carry on with the scratch race but took it a little easier.

    Metal fatigue? Certainly a stub axle failure that bounced the Sprint over the kerb and caused a ripple through the boot, totally smashing the battery.

    Paul Madeley's race did go to plan with a well deserved win in today's scratch race.

    Thanks Rhys. There must be something about Triumphs, metal fatigue and me.

    I was flagging when Martin Adams rolled Chris Watson's TR5 and landed right in front of us after a propshaft failure I believe.

    In 2003, a TR6 rolled in front of me and I whacked the infamous Pukekohe mountain wall on the inside trying to avoid him, wrecking the tail and the bonnet and front suspension, when a front stub axle failed on the Triumph.

    Now this...

    Minor point - Dolly Sprints have a live axle rather the IRS (so no stub axle at the rear), but yes, Triumphs can suffer from stub axle breaks - both front and rear (and Spitfires, GT6s, TRs, 2500PIs have all had it happen over the years).

    Poor Geoff - his major roll in the brown Dolomite at HD in 2010 is still fresh in my memory!

    Sorry yes. Half shaft not stub axle. Stands in corner with well used white conical hat with a big 'D" on it...

    The damage to the Dolly is a bit more extensive than first thought and this may well turn out to have been its final appearance - not all of it due to the condition of the car.

    With Roycroft approaching, a delve back into the past with a few more of Dad's photographs from pre-war Donington.

    Apologies if any have been uploaded before. Running your mouse over the images will give you the original file name and all of mine are dated, so 139_0706 would be 1939 July 6th. These have been scanned from prints rather than the original negatives, most of which are on glass plates.

    Wow! When did you take this photo Ray? Where is this car now?

    I always loved David Pipers roof chopped 250GTO as well.

    This is interesting. It appears to be Chaparral I? I'm pretty sure this car is now back in the US. Was it based in the UK when you took this photo Ray? Or was it just visiting for an event?
