Sorry about the poor shot - if I'd noticed at the time I would've made sure I got a good one!

Man, I love those little cars. I guess Drew's living a double life. Needs to satisfy his need for speed.

Oulton park !!!! Small world indeed m8 - check out these I took at the weekend at the GT championship there.

Nice shots. Especially like the F40 wheel and the 512M. No 550 Maranello's, though?

Hmmmm ... no I guess. Sorry I am a complete thicko when it comes to identifying cars and parts. I went along as a photographer rather than an enthusiast. Glad you like the images though.

Heh, nice username : )
No 550's at that meeting (the F40 was one of the drivers road cars!), but there were a few at the Euro GT meeting at Donington the day after. Unfortunately sorting the shots out is taking longer than expected - before DPC I would take 400 shots and immediately be able to throw 300+ away. Now I take 400 and can only throw 100 away on the first pass :-/

dasser - extremely small world. The 'Drew' shot was taken at the same GT meeting on Sunday!
I like that you got a lot of people shots - that's definitely my weakness. They tell much more of a story to the average (non petrolhead) viewer.

As for the small world, were the minis in the later races? I wanted to stay but everything was running late and i couldn't take the heat any longer!! Excellent day all the same.

BTW bod, good work with the Rivi and Chorley landscapes in your folio. Let me guess - Chorley-based? (Bolton, soon-to-be Swinton meself).

The minis were on just before the GTs - probably while you were in the paddock getting those shots!

I doubt you missed too much later on. The very last race was cancelled, and the last race that actually ran only went on for 4 laps. The heat was a killer, but as we'd spent 90 minutes in a 4 mile traffic jam outside the circuit I wasn't going to leave till the very end!

The Chorley pics give it away m8. If you're interested, there's quite a few pics of Bolton in my folio, especially the flea market and architecture you might be interested in.
