If anyone is out taking photos at Lydden this weekend i'd be very grateful of some shot of me (if I finish the bloody car!!).

Obviously Mr Keith will be there, but any more pics would be great!

Come over and say hi and a cup of tea in our team ermmm... transporter...sorry transit.... on sunday / monday!!

Cheers,

I'll have my camera with me but I can't promise to get any decent pictures (I'm not exactly up to 'pro' standards

). If I do get any half sensible shots of your car you're more than welcome to have a copy.

Yeah we were playing with gunk trying to patch up the diffcasing in the lunchbreak. YOu should have come for a chat mate!! Make sure you do next time!

Yeah the van battery was flat as flat. haha. Was a schoolboy error, left the fridge plugged in all day, forgot to switch it to the mains. Jump started it fine and only took 6 3/4 hours to get home. Was in bed for 1.30am. Not too bad.

Hope you all had a good day, I did.

I'll be in touch with folks about pics.

Hal

Evening gents,
only just got back to work today(the source of my internet connection) and I have to say I was totally blown away by the whole day. The cars and the standard of driving were magnificent. I have never seen cars accelerate like that before, on top of everything else it seemed like a photographers paradise. I think I took nearly 400 pictures and I was shooting in RAW! I got a few of you I think HR Racing (was it a blue 205?) I also took a few of the Green Saxo because I didn't know if it was the GreenSaxo from on here is it??? anyway I will work on them over the next couple of days to clean them up a bit and to reduce the file size so PM me if your interested and maybe I can fire some across to you.
Cheers
Paul

GreenSaxo · 19 Apr 2006, 18:02 (Ref:1588947)

Hal - i will make sure i come and see you at the next event we are both at... not a bad journey home then...

Paul (tuscanR).. my Green Saxo is a road car.. (see pic to left) and i was marshalling at the meeting. . . sorry for any confusion with my name

TuscanR · 19 Apr 2006, 18:14 (Ref:1588954)

Cheers for letting me know. I just thought it was to much of a coincidence!

rallycrosscraig · 19 Apr 2006, 18:29 (Ref:1588966)

Paul

let me know if you got any good shots of me in 602 - red 205 stockhatch with black headlamp covers.

many thanks

craig

TuscanR · 20 Apr 2006, 18:11 (Ref:1589988)

The best-kept secret in motor racing.

So, can we tempt you back for more of the same on August Bank Holiday Monday?

TuscanR · 20 Apr 2006, 19:47 (Ref:1590099)

Hello Gnomex
I will be back on the bank holiday without a shadow of a doubt! You certainly have a convert to rally cross. I might even pluck up the courage to come and say hello to some drivers next time, they all look really busy and I cant blame them with the amount of racing that goes on. To get to the end of the day must take a Herculean effort most times I imagine, and the last thing you need is a tongue tied shy bloke with a camera trying to make small talk!
As for the Tuscan Rally cross car, if someone can do it to an exige or TT then who knows what cars are around the corner? If I won the lottery I would give it a go!

HrRACING · 21 Apr 2006, 10:42 (Ref:1590714)

So now to find people taking pictures at Pembrey, that will be harder.

Anyway, there always seems to be loads fo photographers at meetings, esp at Lydden and Croft, but you rarley see many published photos from the event. I dont mean fans with cameras, I mean signed on snappers standing on tyre walls and stuff!?!
