That sun was pretty harsh for the morning runs wasn't it? I was really quite happy when the cloud cover arrived in the afternoon.

#4 and particularly #7 are the pick of from this selection for me. I really like those older TVRs.

Cheers,

Simon.

Absolutely LOVE the RS200! Damn those were cool cars. The Ralt shot is very nice, and I had to LOL at the camera strap swinging in the Sunbeam shot. Also, what are those things that are on the front of all the cars, some kind of transponder??

Thanks Simon, yes it was bright and I agree about the TVR's although there was a nice selection of really nicely turned out cars

Thanks for taking the time to comment, the black plate on the front of the cars is the beam splitter for the timing gear.
