        No Triumph sag now chaps. Actually the car in front (Nig's) is blind and I'm pushing it all the way to St Dunstans.

        A good example of weight transfer in a spin situation... look at the rear and how high in the air it is. (I know it looks normal for a road car but compare it with the last pic).

        I dunno. You must have wandered off to look at something more interesting.
        
        Actually I think you had just finished taking photos down by the fence when I took that one.

        That was Mik but playing skittles in Bradford is illegal after 22.00 so he'd be back now and tucked up in bed.
        
        Have you noticed that there aren't any pics of Mik hhhmmmm anyone got any - James??

        All fashion advice will be - well ignored probably.
        
        I'm trying to start a new trend - it's the "got up at 5am and then found I hadn't washed any clothes for a while and couldn't find a better clean shirt" look.
        
        I'll apologise for the socks though. Note to self: buy some footwear that doesn't damage my feet when I don't wear socks.
        
        By the way, remind me never to let James get into portrait photography.
        
        :-)

        My Donington pictures are now on the website. I'm not impressed by the quality of some of the action shots, I can't seem to get my scanner to play nicely.
        
        Oh well, lots of nice pictures of static cars anyway.
        
        I'll see if I can sort the others out later. I still have to post some more images from Mallory as well...maybe over the weekend sometime...

Oo-er!! Now I cud rise to the bait here but it's too hot!! S'pose I could say that I was that far ahead of everyone, I'd slowed down to let them catch up? No?? Hmmm - Driver's door was about to fall off so was holding it on with me arm?? No?? Oh well, guess I'll have to own up then! Baad driving habit!! BUT it was on the last parade lap and we were only doing about 10 m.p.h. whilst waiting for the cars in front to go back onto the infield!!

Nice pic tho John - thank you!

Regards
