J were you parked on South Bank? Near a pale blue M5 per chance?

Not me, but I spotted it none the less

I was in the car park just over the road from paddock entrance

Brilliant race and podium for the old man, couldn't have asked for more

I have some nice photos of all 3 of the cars mentioned on this forum (The two Aston's and the Mini) I'll try and get them uploaded tonight. I'd be happy to send them to the people involved with the cars if they like them.

Thank you

spot on!

we (me and my bro) really appreciate the effort of you guys who take the time to take photos of our mini (and the other heritage cars)

the enthusiastic response the series gets really makes the effort (and my horrific overdraft!) seem a little more worthwhile!

we had a fairly pants weekend, i did the second stint of the endurance race, and got one lap in before the clutch master cylinder packed up, i managed to do 20 min of racing in fourth gear! not good in a car with such a small amount of power!

then to top it all in the second race i lost 3rd and 4th gear, so retired.

spent this morning taking the engine out and splitting the box off it, typically the problem can only the fixed by stripping the entire box!

happy days!

blue mini 61

It was a bl00dy good show you were putting on until you retired though

Crowd was cheering you everytime through Paddock

At one point my dad overtook you (#78) up the inside coming out of paddock, I held my breath and closed my eyes, lord only knows how it must have been for you

Best move of the race :

The Capri taking half the field through the pit lane

Thanks for the pics

[:J:]

TBH, it just looked and sounded like a totally sh4gged Capri thrashing around, I imagine that's all it is, but it looked more of a destruction derby car that had lost the oval as opposed to an HGTCC car !!!

similar spec sold for 12 grand a few weeks ago on abay aparently!

Holy cr4p, that's about £11,950 more than I would pay for one

There is a rather battered Capri for sale up the road, needs a LOT of tlc by just looking at it and I was shocked at the £425 asking price he had on it !!
