I don't think i will ever get bored at looking at rally shots, Love shot 2! All great work!

[cryton]

The old Volo is my fav too but they are all nice.

[Rhodri.Lew10]

All good shots there Chris, knew the Ballinger shot was a winner straight away - nice to see it from the opposite side to where I captured it.

Have you ordered a 580EX yet? I was expecting them to have to drag you out of that forest after Rich gave you a bash with it!

Nice series.
First time for me to see Rover on rally stage :confused:
Those mantas are always going waaaay too wide :D Nice capture.
Whats the car in #5? Looks like Peugeot logo but I´ve never seen one before

We get quite a few rover/MG's rallying here in the U.K.
#5 is a peugeot 306.....but it's a bit special :D
Take a look here http://www.peugeot-cosworth.co.uk/ it's 4wd with a cosworth V6 in the back!

Great photo's Pons. The shot of the Volvo is my favourite. Looks like it is really being hustled along. The Peugeot is just Mad though. Looks like it would kill you!

[Pete Owen]

Nice Pons
I like the Volvo too,just looks right!

Well thank you my good friends.
Who would have thought the old Volvo would be the pic winner.

Actually ,the old historics are great,not enough out for me ,too many 1400s on this event,but made for full entry.
Rhodri,
Yes,nice piece of kit alright ,and was very dark and cold when we left,poor Rich was sat in car freezing all iced up when I got back.He never stuck heater on.
Kev,
That Pug hybrid is incredible ,4 wheel drive ,and very clever owner,builder,driver ,sounds amazing.
Pete,
The old Volvo came out very sharp,and was pleased.
Vesa,
Loads of them Rovers over here,cheap motoring,have one myself,same colour and all.

Cheers,
Pons

Thanks for the info.
No wonder I did not recognize that. Looks like only Peugeot part left in that car is the logo :lol:

[photonick]

Nice set pons, great timing on the Manta - he was pushing that thing all day.

[RichD]

Nice shots Chris. I like 1,2 & 5. Glad you enjoyed playing with the flash. That shot's come out well just a pity about reflective number plates, need more mud to cover them.

[GSH]

Lovely old Ovlov there :)

it just proves you don't have to resort to silly tilts, simply dig a huge hole for the cars to fall into ;)

[andreasthess]

Nice shots Pons.I mostly like the last one,the one with the Saxo.It shows the darknes of the day,and i like the grass that is in front of the car.
I would like to see it with those drivers red-eyes removed

[chrispons]

Darren,
Cheers ,and as sure as "Seagulls follow the trawlers" (French poet and rather good footballer,karate kid 2) ,we surely will meet soon.

Photonick,
How 'ar yu son ? ,I never tire of those old Opels.

Rich D,
Great day out mate,enjoyed your company and Rhodri's very much .
Thanks for the loan of flash ,brilliant bit of kit !

GSH,Geoff,
Cheers mate,was lovely old car.

Andrea,
It was my first shot with my mates 580ex2 ,rather good bit of kit.
It was pretty dark by then ,and I didn't want to leave once the flash was on ,so took plenty more on walking out of stage,by then total darkness.

Thanks all,
Pons

Nice work Pons. The Volvo pips it with a close 2nd from the Pug.

[jubilo]
