[dinkel]

Cheers mate, I'm just too busy . . .

On a more carefull note


Love this 1.8 Marcos.


Mind you: the 100M raced the Woodcote Trophy as well.


Dutch Adriaans Cob at practise.

[dinkel]

More friday practise snaps:


Smoking notchback Stang.


Love these roaring GTAs.


A 240Z would be my weapon of choice in a race like this.


Dutch Pork reached p13 in the race. Slight lock here.

have to say that i am ever so slightly jealous of the guys who own & race these cracking old cars. so much better o see them used than left rotting in a garage or sitting in a museum.

if only my euro-millions ticket would come good soon...

great photo's & a great circuit. long may it continue.

My Spa6 Lola's on Lola Heritage:

Very proud . . .

[jellison]

Dink - Top stuff + it guided me to the page I have yet found on one of my fave cars - the Lola T260 (Beast)

[dinkel]

That's a lovely website innit?

More Spa6 practise. Gotta love the Cobras:





Who picks this for a racingnumber?


Quick 2:53 Shelby Mustang battling the UK Vette.


The Count Oeynhausen GT40 down La Source. A huge 2:47 fastest lap. Legal :cough:


Dutch 2:57 Corvette Roadster.

More later this eve.

[dinkel]

DP214 is in fact a rep. The owner leaves the real deal at home.


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.


MGB: it is truly amazing how many Bs run a reliable race. Makes you think.

[dinkel]

More friday afternoon practise.


Dutch riot of a black Cob.


Superquick Dutch Hart / Bleekemolen / Hall Cobra


Reliable and gorgeous Alfa GTA Junior Bertone.


Kidney!


That Mustang.

One session of friday afternoon practise left. And then it's into the paddocks.

[dinkel]

Nice and aerodynamic nose - is that allowed? - for this quick and reliable MGB:




Can't get enough of this Cob.


I want that Datsun!


Dutch sideways stylee for the Pork.

[jellison]

I like the last 2 Cobra pic's.

The MGB front was discussed on 10/10th recently (don't think it is strictly right).

[dinkel]

Jelly: being that close to the racers is so addictive.

After fridays 6 hours practice:

The Melse Pork.


Dutch Big Block Vette Roadster resting.


Lovely Datsun 240Z unit.


David Graces Big Healey lump cooling off.


Porn.

Indeed - could not get over how loud the 911 were!! 2 litres! Mental.

[dinkel]

Shrieking loud, not my kinda loud but very impressive indeed.

Unlike the bellow of the Comet:



I wonder how much space there was in the back. A 2+2 me thinks . . .


The Chiles Cobra.


Adriaanse Cobra coming in.


David Grace taking the status report.

[jellison]

My Super Ford will be right up your street then

[xjsracer44]

Hi Dinks, that's me driving MGB 38, the ex Rod Longton car now owned by Ian Conway - great shot as usual. I know you are inundated with requests, but do you have any more shots of this MG #38 in the six hour and my black XJS #44 in Barry's race? Best, Cliff

[dinkel]

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?

[dinkel]

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.
