Cheers mate , I'm pleased with a lot of the images and will post some more in time , but I had a great few hours and it sounds corny but it was great to see the kids having such a great time , the Ferrari club gave them free rides and sold rides to the general public for a tenner !! One of the youngsters in particular was great , he was doing a city and guilds in photography at the college , he was shooting a film EOS which was mounted on his wheelchair and he triggered it with a remote.

Sounds like a great event. The F-40 was my dream car growing up. I guess in a way it still kinda is.

Thanks for the comment guys , as well as the F40 there were 308's , 328's , 355 F1 , 355 drop top,360,512 TR and a brand spanking new 430:D but the F40 was the star for me , the famous chap was none other than 1979 F1 world champion Jody Scheckter:eek:
