I was lucky enough to be part of the Stirling Moss 80th parade and the Mini 50th Anniversary parade too. Took hundreds of pics, but here are a few:

Great thing to be involved with. I presume that is you driving the DB3S? Afraid we were too busy checking out the passenger in the #8 DB3S to notice all of the cars in the parade!!

Indeed.

Mr Richard S Williams' daughter..... I hear he's very protective! Be careful

Also, I wasn't driving the 3S, I was the passenger

RSW himself seen here performing a very flamboyant gear change.

I'm very happily taken, and wouldn't believe in 'cutting another mans lunch' so to speak, so I think he can rest without concern. However, if a pretty butterfly landed on your plate you might not eat it, but you couldn't help admiring it.

Fantastic shot.

My first motorsport hero, I remember being so chuffed when I got the Corgi toy Monte winning mini for Christmas




Superb race on Sunday morning, just love the angles you can see when a 250 is trying

I've just been through my pictures a bit more thoroughly and realised I had the Whitsun accident in mid flow , I've cropped and enlarged it so its a bit more clear , youch !

Yikes...that's ugly!

Looks like a T70 and a GT40...were others involved and how bad was the damage?

Many thanks to all for posting flickr galleries, much appreciated.

See Phil's post here http://www.pistonheads.com/xforums/topic.asp?h=0&a...

He has more pictures of the resulting damage on the cars involved but hasn't gone through them yet.

Posted this in the Photography forum, having just found this thread I though I'd copy it here!

Phew, finally finished sorting/uploading this years crop. Another great weekend, although the weather was dull for a good deal of it. Managed to get into the main paddock this time though, so took a fair few pics in there.

Kit used was 5D and Sigma 70-200 2.8 for most (first proper event for both body & lens), with backup from the old 30D for the wider and longer angle shots. That Sigma lens is heavy! And vignettes a lot on the 5D, which I don't really mind tbh.























The full set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/motion-captured/sets/...

Also took a roll of 35mm b&w, and a roll of 120 on a late 50's plastic kodak so might post those when developed.

[burton_ii]

very nice pictures above. much done in PS? Be interested to see the pictures from the roll.

First lot from me. Straight from camera just crops out of interest.

Getting in a GT40 in period dress is possible. You can see me just before my much more undignified entry into the black car in the background.


Not easy for the drivers either it seems!


It's very hot and loud in there. Hats off the the Le Mans racers who did it for hours...


There were some nice planes. Ours.

Dam, can't afford that.


Or that.


Even he can't afford that.


Great attention to detail. Check out the watch.


You are allowed to say WTF.

The dog in the basket was, for me, an absolute highlight. It was a shame he was placed so close to the music from the 50's stand as it drowned out a lot of what he was saying.

If you missed it, he is a street comedian with the most terrific observations/witticisms/one-liners but dressed as a dog in a basket. His politics are slightly to the right of Ghengis Khan and no-one is saved from his comments. Terrific entertainment, his name is Peter Forrest and he's normally in Covent Garden.

Good to know who he is - I couldn't believe it when I first noticed him, I must look him up.

Can you tell how excited I was to be going out in one of seven Mk. III GT40s?
