Am tempted Steve - one of those would look very handsome on my staircase. £25 for a single print though - how much goes to the charity?

Cheeky mare Everything after production costs and P&P goes to charity so should be around £15-17 for an A4 print, depending on print options.

No red Integras? Im sure there were more cars than those out on track Steve?

Sadly no, after we spoke I was intentionally keeping an eye out for you Integra but I didn't see you on track again at all until right at the end of the day when I went out as there was too little light to take track photo's any more. I'm pretty certain I got just about everyone who went on track apart from those who left early. Maybe next time!

If you want a colour laser 1200dpi copy done on A3 or A4 I'll happily donate the printing FOC so that everything can go to the charity.

I can print it on one of these or these

I'd love to buy one steve, but having just spent 20 pounds with emma, if i buy even a small print that'll be 40 pounds on just two pics and that's almost half a weeks wages ..

I feel happy having contributed 145 pounds to charity so far

If people start doing inkjet prints then Macmillan aren't going to get much money from the sale of Steve's or my photographs! Come on folks! It is nearly Christmas!! How about a nice little mouse mat or jigsaw puzzle

I think joust means you still pay the money, but there's no printing costs .. so all the 20 pounds or so goes to charity .. in which case i say good move

Mouse mats?

Ah, thats a part of the old mans Xmas present sorted then!

How do I order them then?

Yes - correct. Emma - I'm offering to print the pictures for free so removing your / TD's production costs so even more can go to the charity.

£4160 per year - that's under the minimum wage my friend.

I'd have a word in the ear of your employer

Out of interest, as I've never been to Bruntingthorpe, how fast were you getting in the Noble and Tuscan on the back straight? Rich...

Not that fast as it had a "cone" chicane in the middle of it. Around the 120-130 mark IIRC.

I know - hence the winky

No probs.

The latest inkjets are getting quite good with no discernable dots to the naked eye, but they still seem to fade over time, regardless of what they say.

I think my preference is

Dye Sub
"Solid" laser (Phaser 780 or similar)
4800 dpi Inkjet
Normal laser (HP 5500 or similar)
2400 dpi Inkjet

but I know others that think the "solid" laser gives too shiny prints.

Interesting, my son did a "Drive a Ferrari 355" session there a week ago and told me how he got 165 down the back straight. I recollect that my max on the back of Bedford in my Griff 500 was around 130-135 hence my curiosity. Rich...

It all depends on what you use and how it's setup.

In the right car you can hit 190+MPH if you use all the back straight, and 140-150 isn't that hard if you have just "half" of it.
