Sorry I'm not so big on the really old stuff so most of this is the last 30 years or so. Hope you enjoy the pics

Nice to see some expensive machinery being used properly. Whereabouts in Bucks is it?

[rocksteadyeddie]

It's nr Princes Risborough.

There was a Veyron there today as well which I managed to miss with the camera. It went up the hill like a fking jet fighter!

its not ofen that you see cars like that at hill climbs, was it a psecial event for expensive cars?!!?

[rocksteadyeddie]

Not that I'm aware of. The 911 RS 2.7 was JKs and Modena owned the Gallardo and F40. Good day out.

nice!
its good to see these cars being used in anger.
would have loved to see the f40 on its run.

Agreed! I've been to Harewood a few times and not seen very many Ferraris!

great pictures thanks

the f40 went up like it was on a sunday drive...pretty low revs and boring. The astons were brilliant though

[rocksteadyeddie]

Yep the F40 was very disappointing. The GT40 was great though

Prescott was very impressive for tuned F1 cars, fancy Bugattis and stuff. It was a bit sterile though. It didn't have the same "I could do that" as flying minis and sideways escorts and some stuff that makes you think "Is that the remains of a jag?" that normal hillclimbs have.

I would have expected a bit more interesting stuff. There are people driving up hills and then there are speed hillclimbs.

My favourite hill is Tregrehan, closely followed by Wiscombe.
