Cheers Tom: I - we! - enjoyed your car to the max. Shame we missed but there's always next year.

Cheers Ken:

Aren't those cars just mega! I love that blue on the Ziegler car. It behaved so much better compared to last year.

The white D looked like it had not been touched for 50 odd years! A complete timewarp.

Woodcote Trophy is one of my favourite races. Why? Easy: drivers have to really workout to stay on tarmac, epic to watch that. Shapes are so lovely, as are the sounds. Some of the cars were featured in the magazines, the ex-Jim Clark XKD517 for instance. The history these beasts breathe makes you feel humble . . .

Madly in love with this DB3 roadster:





OMG how lovely is sir Stirlings desmo 1.6 OSCA.


Can't believe I met the guy . . .


Stylish HWM Jag sports.

There's so much more. Internet is patient . . .
