Second batch from me, my most recent shoot, no artificial flares all genuine stuff smile

Mainly because I can't get a hang of PP'ing in sunflares!

Very nice.

Tip for La Source snappers:

Try and get your horizon / cars straight wink It's not that easy, as I noted on my Twitter TL - #Spa6Hours

Check the last Spa 6 Hours reports and you will notice most cars are at a 20-something degree angle (La Source).

BTW: it's epic to stand there and watch the cars going by ... at touching distance.

some shots of a mates 595 Barchetta (has a Subaru EA-81 conversion, so fairly swift...)

can't find much on the original 595, how much horsepower did they have, and did the 1.8 subaru engine not only do 95bhp?

this one originally had a slightly tuned fiat 126 lump (about 38bhp), so the swap to the subaru engine has made quite a difference (estimate that with the exhaust/carb set up being run that this is possibly closer to 95-100bhp)

as the whole lot probably only weighs about 550kg it's fairly swift (spaceframe chassis with glassfibre shell)

I don't know, while this is an entirely different spot I've recently started adding a false twist just to make things a bit more interesting.



On the subject of Spa, I heard that Baby Bertha was there - do you have any photos of it? Big silver silhouette Vauxhall Firenza, in case the name isn't familiar.

Oh hell. I blame you. I went poking around Youtube for vids of this, and stumbled across a 20 second static clip of this... You're responsible for my next divorce
