Shepherds nursery is on Whitestripes rd heading out to Dyce. If you could get to Asda we could pick you up there.

Here are some photos from Sunday's event. I tried to get as many differrent angles of the cars throughout the day. Some worked, some didn't due to the prevailing strong sun or shade wink

Lee Adams in the GWR Raptor:



Some early monring grass cutting:


David Coutts


John Burr taking a tight line through Ruin


Clio Williams


Locking up under braking


Stiglet


New Peugeot Air braking system!


David Baker in a Ginetta G22 (never seen one of these before)


Eric Kiltie in his new OMS



I've uploaded some others to my gallery at www.flatoutphotography.com which is a new website I just started last week, so if you find anything that doesn't work please let me know! To make it easier to link photos into forums, at the bottom of each photos there is an Image Link. Click on this, and then either right click and select Copy (or simply press Ctrl C), then right click and Paste into your forum post.

I think I've got at one of most cars that took part, but if there are any missing let me know and I can upload some more.

John
