Ian - Pat is running the car in the indoor arena at the autosprout show in January and will be using the RS200 until his new car is complete and ready to go (as far as I know the new car won't be ready for the start of the rallycross championship so we should get to see the RS200 a few more times yet

)

a bit late coming, but thanks for the info regarding the little 7 or 800 hp monster--that must be one hell of a thing to drive. After seeing the photo again teh other day, is that the car that the Top Gear guy Jeremy whats-his-name once spun off into the ditch that they showed on Top Gear once. Remember that I see the shows ages and ages and ages after you lot do, so this may go back quite a while. I think it was a show about RS Fords and they showed a clip of him making a dufus of himself (mind you, if it was that car and it does have that much hp, and it was in the wet I remember, then I can understand the off more now)

cheers

It was an RS200 but it wasn't the same car, I think it was a road going version he was driving which would have somewhere in the region of 300bhp (I think). Unless it was Julian Godfreys car in which case it's got 600+ bhp - not bad for a 20 year old road car!

That top gear was definitely funny though, one of those rare moments where made a total arse of himself (and they actually showed it).

Mrs. Claus just gave me a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 scanner for Christmas (I was expecting the usual...a lump of coal)..so I've been playing with some of my old slides....here's mario on the grid (F-5000) at Watkins Glen in 1974

took this pic this year at the USGP....my seats are right along side the podium...very envious of all those big lenses

JR27 · 25 Dec 2003, 05:50 (Ref:820305)

As mentioned...my seats at USGP are alng side the podium...here is Micheal walking up the stairs to the back of the podium.

After the Podium ceremony, after the world-wide feed with Peter Windsor, after a second meeting with journalists from the various magazines.....the 3 podium "winners" are marched into the "bull pen"...a roped off area set aside for the good people of Speed Channel, Sky, RTL, whatever...the drivers and their handlers go from mic to mic to answer the same questions...over and over and over and....again. We hollered down to Michael and he looked up and gave us this smile...notice he has a vest on....it was cold all day and there were even some snow flurries when the drivers came out to the "bull pen". I figured the various interview sessions lasted longer than the race....

that's it for now....time to go to sleep

Mmmm, maybe it's my new glasses, but it sure looks like a curly cord coming out of giant cleavage above Alex's head...

djb · 26 Dec 2003, 04:24 (Ref:820635)

get this boy with the partofself-important nickname a rorshack test and you can guess what he'd see.....

but yes, looking back at it, it could look like that

but we digress dont we?
Murph, always a pleasure to see shots of up to 30 years ago. Happy holidays and happy scanning.

A blown engine, finished for the weekend... nothing else left to do but give it a tubbing

Today I have been at Croft for the Jack Frost Stages, a bit cold and damp but I managed to come up with this and IMO its one of the best photo's I have ever taken

kdr · 17 Jan 2004, 20:47 (Ref:841810)

crop right in on the car and reflection.

You mean like this:-

Sorry for cannibalising your photo! I'd be tempted to crop it back to being more rectangular...

gi_gav · 17 Jan 2004, 21:21 (Ref:841853)

Lovely shot by the way - it was a pleasure working with it!

rdjones · 17 Jan 2004, 22:01 (Ref:841880)

No problem - the orginal is on my desktop at present, in fact it might just end up on my desktop at work on Monday morning

Duffacus · 18 Jan 2004, 10:55 (Ref:842234)

I must say, that is a very nice shot!
