Not long after this, Darron lost all his brake fluid and ended up in the gravel trap at the first hairpin.
Bert's car now on the 15" wheels and looking all the better for it.
Out of sequence, as it is from the other camera. We'll soon have far more V8 Capris than were ever on the road in period! Rob Berrgren missed out on Neil Tolich's car but has acquired another Perana replica that we have seen before.
...where were we? Oh yes, back to the "attitude and whoopsies".
As you may have gathered from the above, I've moved on from the Brit car pics and now dipping into the other countries by make.
No excuse for showing Howard twice. A good pic is a good pic and happy to share. Not much point in taking pics if no one ever sees them.

Some people take a bit of time to learn which way the track goes...
...especially this one.

What several of the recent pictures show is
a) The spectacular results possible from a digital camera
b) what a superb track Hampton Downs is for photographers, regardless of having a media pass.
Getting a wheel off the deck just doesn't happen at many tracks and I just love cars with attitude or cars that are in any way 'different'. It is what really sets classics and historics apart from the Sing Songs and Falcodores racing.
I just wish I could find a way to clean up glass mounts and scan the pile of slides quickly. It takes a fair bit of time just to shrink and upload the digitals!
VCC Chelsea Hill climb tomorrow. I'll be there rather than watching the action from Pukekohe, though that may be worth recording.

You can see why the Aussies have a ball!

Just a few minutes at the Chelsea Hillclimb Nov 8th 2015
Award for the noisiest car - Roger Herrick!
Can someone please identify this car for me?
I've just realised. Where were all the Austin Sevens this year?

As above...
Interesting pic this one (Bugatti) from my perspective, as it was taken on a recently acquired pocket Canon with an impressive 30 x zoom facility and the sequence shoot facility. All the others were taken on the Nikon D60. Apart from initially being a lot brighter, it just shows the massive advances in camera technology. I used the same camera few minutes later to video my wife's gold medal ballroom dance exams - with excellent results - both the video quality and her dancing!

Your photo of the 500, Max Rutherford, JBS, same guy who wrote the superb book, "Paddock to Podium" a must have for real enthusiasts.
The sideways Model A special is Ollie, previous owner of Sterling Brake.
Thanks Rhys. I'll re-post the above attachments tomorrow (in the same place) when I'm back on the PC. Saves Steve trying to sort them out. One may even include a certain pea green Austin...

Thanks Ray! It sounds faster than it is but great fun to drive :Originally Posted by ERC
An MG stalwart in a Lotus Replica? What is the world coming to...
This makes it 2 x JBS cars running? Fantastic. I also recently spied a (500cc?) Cooper at Kenny Smith's establishment...
Not competing, but the car I'd most like to have taken home with me.

Last batch from one of my favourite events of the year.
Once again. Can someone please name this, so that I can file the pic!
ERC, the Riley " DA 2527 " seems familiar, may have a photo or two of the car at Western Springs Vintage gathering back in 1971, now ... must go and find it. Your photos are great, thanks.. Ray ..
