Time for some pics:


I love the paddock's atmosphere: amazing old stuff like this zillion dollar Cob . . .


. . . the internals are jewels mostly, some let it rip at request . . .


. . . new stuff is yum . . . Some of you guys will add some bloody good steel (plastic).

Cheers Tabor: Member Since 17th October 2000 . . . Very good 1st post mate!

Make that Berts 206 GTi and not the bosses 307.

I'm quitting the job at the agency and will start off as a free-lancer, Oct 1st.

Need to buy a new 'scratchy'. Cheap

Andy, I have a Dutch group with huge interest in a spring Spa Run . . . I will mail within days about this.

About 3:10 - 20s would be possible in a sorted Elise . . .

[dinkel]

Are they driven by racingdrivers Phil?

[dinkel]

Re: Spa: getting busy Phil? 3 races and all. That's no not much time for chit-chat then.

We need a journo to come along for this

Anyone know if there is still space in any of the hotels? I'm trying to think if I'd be able to make it along...

Try the Hotel du Wayai (www.hotel-du-wayai.be) as far as I know we are the only ones staying.

G

Is it a house with one room? or is it the Adams Family residence

Cheers Graeme, looking fw to meet again. Everyone well again?

[dinkel]

Right then: convoy to SpaF > pay peanuts parking money > park car in mud > follow da noise > pay peanuts for the 2 days > see awesome cars and races > meet lots of nice folk > eat fat food 'n drink beers > stay at hotel > next day same thing except pay!

I can only hope with the track-update and all things've stayed the same.

You won't regret this one: I had an amazing time last year.

Photographers: let's organise and rush the press-tower to get our 'Paddock access - Pitlane - track' bracelet.

[dinkel]

There are plenty of guesthouses instead of hotels. About 10 mins racing from the track.

Mail me for info.

Targa Florio 1965, part one . . .

. . . and part two.

To get in the mood.

A lap with Vic Elford in the Alfa Romeo 33TT3, who shared a seat with Dutch ace and LM-winner Gijs van Lennep in the '72 edition of the TF.

I'd love to see a 33 at SpaF.
