Excellent 4th placing for the GT Roadster.


And 5th for this yum red one.


Major soft spot for the only Jap.


Top 20 Mustang Notchback.

Hi, I have no problem at all with requests: one black XJS - not up to my standards shot - and I've posted all I've got of your MGB.

Which is a nice one, one question: are the plastic -aerodynamic - headlight covers period?

More Cobra:

The unfortunate but amazing sounding (2:54) Shead / Hardman Cobra: "Make that black with some neat red pinstriping."
As you will see later I was unable to make a decent shot of this reflecting piece of kit.


The eventual nr. 2: Hart / Bleekemolen / Hall


Check out how small a Cob really is.


Big block R&R!


Today the theme is V8.

I'm not into lenghty discussions, especially on 10/10s wink Thanx for your info, love the way your car looks. MGBs have a fair chance of ending top 25 which is wonderfull.

Checking da last bits on HEM6 just a few minutes before the 6 Hours race.


A few hours later: winning Ford GT at speed.


Gregor Fisken: "Great shot of Wolfgang at the start of the race. He kept it near the top ten and a great run to a possible podium was lost with twelve laps lost stopped in the pits with a brake issue. Marvellous beast to drive, especially at night!"


Meins Ford GT would finish 5th. Lovely car in 'arrest me red'.


One of the Morgans, 3:12 best lap for this V8. About to be overtaken by the Clark E.


Lovely Brit (3:23) MGB overtaken by the mega quick (best lap of the field with 2:47) Gotcha Ford.


Best Pork was Dutch. Passing a GTA Alfa here.
