Dinks Classic Rally pics

[dinkel]

Oh dear, did I have a wonderfull day saturday. A good 100 mile trip through the best part of Holland, cam in my lap sitting next to the official, driving a raw red TR4 . . . A field of 150 yum Rari's, Jags, Massers, Bents, Porkers and one Lambo.

Brushing up the load right now. Part one: ten British entries. Enjoy!


XK150


Healey 6


TR6pi


Luvly Spitfire


Symphony in yellow: raw sounding 911 and TR6


Our TR4, I might just like this one over a TR6. The 6 is more modern . . .


I really fell in love with this blue Bent Vert. What is it BG?


Absolutely stunning.


Yup, a Brit entry.
C'mon guys, maybe a few more next year. This Rally is so well organised, by the local Rotary Club.


Quite a few Healeys, but they couldn't keep up with our 4 . . . and the amazement of the day: a beige Volvo to be posted later this eve.

Viva Italia!


Love this storming 3500GT


This one is at ease . . .


. . . time for a peek inside.


Wonderfull typography. This one was found on a Masser, a DB5 and the Lambo.


Easily the best sounding car of the day.


330 America and a 3500GT


The only Lambo, a beautifull and just restored 400GT . . .


. . . with only one flaw . . .


. . . the boot didn't open


Love this Alfa GT junior.


This 330 GT sounded the absolute nuts. A shame the driver didn't like drama . . . he did turn some heads just by strolling along.

. . . and the last bit.

We drove with the top down all day. Grey skies frightend most verts though. It started to rain cats 'n dogs at the Finish at the Doorn Castle. Park, run to the tent and grab a rosé!


Of the pack of Porkers this was my fav in both sound and looks.


I'm not really a Vette guy . . .


. . . but this really floats my boat.


This might look like grandpa's ride but it was a fast devil!


Another Yank, a pity I didn't see her run: Stang GT350


A very blue Bugatti. The crew wore period dress with raincoats under!


Is this TA Vert a looker or what?

Damn fine day . . . next time I better brush up my cardreading!

No Loti . . . Check this one out then.

The 'Jag and the Yellow TR6' . . . the orange-yellow thingy is a 911 Porker

dinkel said: Pics of Vette, Bug, Stang Oh God I envy you now!!! 3 of my favourite cars ever!!! And all in great condition john

Most cars were mint. I missed a few due to the flying around in the Officials' TR4: original Tona Spider , brilliant 40s Pontiac, brute 356 ragtop, gorgeous 30s Roller . . .

Next time I'll be there again for sure

[dinkel]

Yes off course Wim . . . you still have places left then?

I must say a convoy of 60s-70s Rari's is a delightfull sight! Would be great to have a few on your meadow right?

[dinkel]

I love my new Olympus E300, it works great and better than the D70 from work . . . all IMO. Will look for a decent 1.4 standard lens though.

Luverly racy TR4 there

The Aurelia racer :megayum: I'm trying to get a seat in that one . . . and the Spider Tona (no rep gents), shame I didn't get a proper pic.

[dinkel]

A mate of mine is there. Hope he takes the cam . . . I'm going to the W'mann factory next week, I'm wrestling with my Fulvia Zag write-up at the mo and I'm planning this.
