Those MG v8s look yum.

We met by accident

Tusc racers are the thing. Those Mini's say: new Beemer Mini's are for Hairdressers!

Saw a souped and broad Mini last week that sounded like a million dollars.

I have a photo of my Trans Am on the back of that flatbed, taken approx 30 minutes after I bought it and it expired in a cloud of steam!

Great Pics. That was a fantastic meeting with great weather - even got sunburnt. Those V8 MGBs are awesome but the maroon MGC wasn't far off the winning pace.

MGC is my kind of MG . . . I'm saving money for one of those nice big lumps of ironcast 6pots. Yep, over the V8 . . .

He most certainly did - I was with him, made him listen to the announcement as he almost missed it, then got drunk with him and the wife to be last night!

in order to show pics in the forum they need to already be on the internet.
there are loads of easy ways to get pictures on the net. i set up an msn group and an msn profile where i have uploaded pictures. i also have a webshots account. webshots is quite good but it does try and take over your computer by changing your desktop etc.

Nice pictures KITT I was also at the Combe on monday. The racing was good as its ever been and I dont think I have ever seen so many cars enter in the Castle Combe Special GT class. It was great to see TVR Tuscan race cars dice with Radicals, very entertaining!

The saloons and the minis were a great spectacle too.

That looks like Doug and Chris Setters's Jade with the Paintball splodge on it. If it is then that's good news 'cos it chucked a rod through it's Chrysler engine at Brands last month.

I have to say Monday was some of the consistently close and enjoyable racing I've seen in a year or two.

In the Mini race there were 7 cars all nose to tail the whole race, and any one of them could have taken it. Same for the F3 & FF races. The two "fast" MG V8's were terrific, and would have given the Tuscans a helluva run for thier money (all lapping in the 1m14s-1m15s region)

In short, more overtaking (and attempted overtaking) in a day than you'd see in a season of F1. A great day out.
