Hi, I have some pictures from the day.
I was in the Familly Car! The Silver AMG Estate.
If people put up what they were driving I will fish them out.
I have a couple of the white RX and various others.
I will put them on tommorrow.
Cheers

was very funny seeing you fly past me , and had great fun trying to keep up with you. what sort of power is the merc at??? great to see something different on track.

would love it if you have any photos of the white corrado, would be great if theres any of decent quality as i wouldnt mind getting some prints done.
laugh me too - the first time I saw you I was like WTF? Then I realised it was an AMG - nice one!

So you didn't go home and admit that you were overtaken by an estate car with a baby seat in the back!
I will have a look for the Corrado, any others?

Sorry for butting in, E55 max; you should have stuck a hat on and had the pipe hanging out the side of your mouth - that would have been the ultimate.

Unfortunately I seem to have only one Picture of the Corrado, I wasn't taking them, so had no control of subject or quality.


And a couple of the White RX





Not great quality I'm afraid, the operator didnt understand the focusing method!

Commiserations to the Mustang owner - terrible thing to happen.

However, it does irk me when people reprimand others for posting photos of these incidents on PH.

a.) Once the thread is up, even without pictures, it's too late to worry about it. A good example was the alleged Zonda crash in ABZ a while back. The cat was out of the bag as soon as the post went up for god's sakes! Then we had people moaning that it shouldn't be discussed on a public forum. What about all the other forums out there?

b.) We all know that there are a multitude of photographers at Knockhill for every track day. So if you don't want photos of your P&J being ragged around the circuit (crashed or not), here's a hint - don't take it to Knockhill. It's the one place in Scotland petrolheads can be guaranteed to see some nice cars hooning around, so expect to see spectators.

c.) If you're worried about losing out on warranty or insurance because the underwriter prohibits track use - see above.

It's yet another personal reponsibility issue - so if you get caught out, don't winge! I love this idea that people with big, noisy "look at me" cars don't want to be noticed or photographed - particularly at Knockhill wink

If anyone knows of any photographers who were there I would be interested to know.
Or if anyone has pics of the Merc Estate I would be most grateful!
Thanks
Max
