On Thursday the Gurney-Nutting bodied Phantom III in the Style et Luxe wore a normal Spirit. By the Sunday it had magically transformed into a Lalique Chrysis. Lovely! And just to prove the sun did actually come out, however briefly...
I saw that too an enjoyed it, but couldn't help wondering whether it was a genuine Lalique or a modern repro (I know some modern reproductions of Chrysis are around). I hope it was genuine, but it's a braver person than me who'd leave such a fragile item (which could easily be broken/stolen) on display like that! 
Still working my way through my photos I took. 24-70 is too short for the course so next year I'll take something longer. Also seemed to get caught out on where I was standing and always had 'busy' backgrounds. Attempting to blur them out even more but cutting out cars is long and boring...
Anyway, here's one I've almost finished.
And my favourite car of the day, the Vulcan!

I went on the Friday & i wasn't disapointed. Shame i spent more time looking at the manufactures stands & the Supercar paddock then watching the action on the hill.
Oh well, that's something to sort out next year, till then here's my pics.

For those who dedicate time to purely shooting I can't recommend the top of the hill enough. On Friday this year it was absurdly quiet, positions right up against the rope all day long, and often so quiet I was the only person in the area.
You also get two bites at the cherry, as the light when they come back down through the trees is stunning

I've spent the last 4 years in the same spot on the Friday, unfortunately they've closed off the opposite side now which was better for panning up the hill, but it's still, in my opinion, by far the most relaxing area of the whole climb (and generally speaking, only the real enthusiasts climb that far) and the nearest thing to the feeling of what it was like to be there 8+ years ago.
