Back in Donegal last weekend for a round of the Border Rally Championship. Great event with 150 entries including Wrc Subarus, Mk 1's & Mk11's, Manta's, Chevettes, twincam corrolla's. Brought along me new 15-85mm 3.5-5.6 to try out and have used it for pics 2,6 &7, very impressed with initial results, much better quality than my previous 17-85mm. Appreciate your crit & comments.

1. John Ward in his immaculate Corolla.

Thanks for your comments Chris, much prefer the POTN forum myself, had fun playing about with the new lens, need to get a bit more practice in with it though.

Cheers, motorsport mad, took quite a few at that spot (#2) before I got something resembling half decency, always enjoy looking for something a little different from time to time :p

Glad you liked it Tessa, no harm in trying a different angle on things, Cheers. :)

Comment much appreciated D.A. I believe most of the really fast Mk 11's are powered by 2.5 lire Millington engines these days
