should have some more shots of the sectorplate and fiddle yard somewhere, I didnt take many the other day, some more I did take, should have been having a proper running session but was mucking about running anything we wanted and taking photos, hard to get good shots with everything in focus but they at least show the atmosphere. the young boy continues to swing on his rope, we spoke to someone who said they actually used to do this here when they were kids, when they look down this is the view they would get.. this is the view Eric Treacy would get...

yeah he's got some great shots. all very rare locations. I know we shouldnt trust old colour slides all the time but that mineral wagon does look a lot bluer like we were talking about earlier in the thread

I love between 44 sec - 56 sec this is the race my uncle went to, they went in his friends brand new Cavalier GSI to see the touring car ones. he gave me the programme, he's got some photos somewhere. he got talking to Andy Rouse about his Land rovers he used to tow the race cars with. Andy had some special ones that went over a famous mountain pass somwhere I forget, my uncle recognised them as he liked Land rovers at the time and they had a long chat about them Mike

Donnington was fun,was a Ford RS owners club day so plenty of stuff on the track, just didnt seem fast on a wide circuit with nothing around like buildings, was the fastest car on the track but he wasnt the fastest of drivers. we went out on the motorway later to a Halfords to get some bits and then it seemed fast

big changes afoot which may mean model railways take a back step for me for a bit

aye, this was when Martin Johnstone owned Tim Harveys car, same guy who took me round Donnington in his touring car spec RS500 before he got this one. dont think he owns it now, hes the fella with the green t shirt on..

very nice, I like watching the m3's race, they look well balanced. Frank Sytner was a nutter Ive been around Donnington park with a guy who owned a full BTCC spec RS500, he later bought Tim Harvey's Labatts car, restored it and let Tim go in it.. this is another classic race, I love mk1 Escorts.
