Supercar Sunday - pictures

[EdT]

PHeads - didnt know what to expect - so expected little...

Even the drive there was better that I could of hoped for (2 500s, 1 460 SEAC, 2 Ultima GTRs).

And the event - wow! - a terrific bunch of cars & met shpub (Steve Heath) and he himself Mr Pie & Pint (Mr P Head).

Anyway - here's a vaguely chronologically ordered set of snaps - so please enjoy - (loading might be a bit slow - sitting on my free ISP for now.. no fancy thumbnails for large versions - tired & been to pub.. )

Good to meet you Ed. Good pictures too - as discussed, you have more of any eye for these things than me! My pics will be up in the morning...

[EdT]

Glad you appreciate my photographic eye.

The drive back wasnt dull either - eh Andy?!

Nice pics mate. But what's that Ferrari in the bottom picture called? Saw one a while back but I can't remember its name.

Ed - Good to meet you mate and a good convoy up there!

The Ferrari at the bottom is a P4. If it's a kit - it was also designed by Lee Noble of Ultima and Noble fame.

Excellent in-car shot fo the Ultima following you!

How the 'eck did you manage that?

[Edt]

Yeah I like those ones too. Just held the camera high & backwards & pressed the buttons. We all drove very slowly so it was easy. Something like that.

I wondered what you were doing Ed, waving your arm around out of the car at xxxmph!!!

Good day all round. Marvellous drive up, very interesting day at Gaydon and a good blast back, despite that silly man in the Astra!

Nice to meet thye 2 Ultima drivers too - thanks Guy for riding shotgun at the rear of the convoy. Nice to know you were using all that rear visibility to watch out for the local constabulary!!

[bluesatin]

great pics ed!

On the issue of the local police. If the speed cameras are to be made more obvious why not all police cars. Perhaps a bright yellow. At least then I can see themthrough my rear wing even if we doing only 59mph ( I had a gps in the car to make sure we did no more than 60 mph)

The red one? It's a (spelling permitting) DeTomaso Longchamps. Funnily enough it was my fave car when I was about 10, and this was the 1st time I've ever seen one. I could see what I was on about all those years ago too.

Ed told me the picture down the stairs was, and I quote, 'to prove we were up in the top of the building in the bar restricted to Supercar owners'. The truth's out now though....
