Lovely shots again Ian, really like 2,3 & 7. The flaming Audi is a beast of a car. Gutted i couldn't make it up for this, my missus's uncle got Wed and i was taking pics :-(

[tehdrok]

Love the sideways shot of the 6R4, remember those from the 80's.. :D

[jon.s]

great shots Ian as always!

Love the jump shots great angle on them due to the camber of the road.

bet you have a nice one of Kris Hall and the maxi 306 over it.

must find this location for next year. sadly didn't make it up this year :(

Cheers,
Jon.S

Cracking capture on Kynaston's fire beathing beast ... how bright is that rape in No.8?

[BALDY]

Great set Ian.

[Big Ant]

Great shots Ian

I love the shot of Jasper and the Andy in the Skoda

Did you get a soaking at Langton?;)

[petrolhead]

Nice set Ian

I see you were at the Water splash. WE we but up the hill as the best area was taped off for the pros :( :)

That Fiesta was a bugger to get sharp

[kipper]

Nice shots Ian. Steered clear of the water as I thought it may have been too crowded for us mere mortals!;)

[D.A.]

I like the Pug shot. Like the steering wheel action. And of course 6R4. Sorry for my
bad english.

Thanks Jon, like an idiot and thinking nobody would get that much air over that part of the road I walked further down the stage for the others


Great shots Ian

Did you get a soaking at Langton?


Thanks Ant, Yes I did get a bit damp at Langton


Nice set Ian

With a long lens on you can sometimes get better shots from up the hill


I like the Pug shot. Like the steering wheel action. And of course 6R4. Sorry for my
bad english.


Thanks for the comments and your English is better that some of the native speakers

I may be but I can't remember whether I did Langton in 2005, it is not one of my favourite places.



Thanks for all the other comments

A fantastic set of shots Ian, the flying Manta is amazing.

I never saw that 6R4 all weekend, did he retire early?

John.

[IainY]

Awesome shots as always Ian. The flying Manta does it for me.

Cheers John, Mark Jasper in the 6R4 retired at the end of SS5 with problems with the pedal box, in fact i don't think any of the 6R4's finished.
