If you get a chance watch the whole series and base your opinion on that. And not just on the 1st DVD you got your hands on.

Eat that. I would never work with a 'garage queen production'. Let's move on.

Olly warming up the 8. At Portimao I sat in this car: comfy!


The Belgium 350GT entry. Great bunch of guys.


Found this snap of Doms TR.


I had a thorough look at Jons E at Portimao: looks like a piece of work.

Racing is waiting.

Paddock detail:

The DFV engines have better performance than back in the days: 520 brake now. Not only because of the improved quality of materials, fluids and such, but also because the DFVs have developed: and they are still being made! :dream of a DFX 3.9 in a CanAm Ultima:


I love the details and every V8 seems to have its own looks.


Naked Wolfe.


70s F1 tech is relatively simple. WDK guy explained: 70s cars are not that difficult but it's so different compared to the 80s cars. You can't even push them when in gear because of the tolerances.


M1B bay.

Dink - why would you try to push a car when in gear! Other than a bump start, which you would not do with and F1 car anyway? Or am I missing something?

Love all the "oily bits" I always get strange looks from the misses when I spend time photographing the mechanical bits of steam trains.

Thursday Ken, I am dead busy: my business is running up steam like nothing else!

I am not working for a boss anymore: seems like those days are over!

You know WDK Motorsport?

No hurry, my work is just crazy at the moment, so gazing at your pictures is a welcome relief from more damn computers!
Glad to here things are looking up. You always have a boss, there is no escape :-)

I'd not come across "WDK Motorsport" they look like an interesting bunch. Wouldn't I just love that Lola Mk4. You aiming to do more work with them?

[dinkel]

Ken, I'm promoting WDK and will most probably pay them a workshop-visit at the 4th Driving-Fun Spring Run 2011 (formerly my DSR, joint venture now).

This will be 6, 7 and 8 May 2011: starting from Hull and going to North London on the saturdays, London - GW brekkie on the sunday morning, hoon to Calais in the afternoon, Euro Tunnel at night.

I'm aimimg at ± 20 Continentals and a pack of 30 PHers to join us.

Coming on topic soon!

A wonderfull 12th place for the superb prepared Ellerbrock / Furiani / Glasel Alfa.


IMO the most gorgeous and desirable of the 105 cars.


Think north of 150K to buy one of these 1.6 beauties.
