My little trip to Gurston

On sunday 24th of August my best mate and I made the trip to Gurston Down (for the first time this year due to work commitments)
We walked up to the top of the hill and I decide to take some piccies.... only with camera phone unfortunately.

The first pictures were a bit of an unfortunate for the driver,








Which resulted in...



Then we headed for the paddock



I think this may be known round these parts




Mmmmmmmmmm Dialynx 4.2 twin turbo V8 Audi S4







700bhp Ford Puma





Oh thees swamp buggy style things were there.... they looked very basic but the chevy V8's sounded





Stunning pearl Orange



Then we moved to the startline













Some cars coming down the hill....





And my favourite shot of the day, I'm not saying these cars are 'stiff' but.....



Oh nearly forgot their was a Mazda MX5 going 'up', which had a PH sticker in the front windscreen

Excellent pics considering they were taken on a phone. Interesting that you focused mostly on production cars rather than the big single seaters that the meeting was really about. There is often discussion about what people come to see and one opinion is that although the National championship contenders are undoubtedly spectacular off the line and doing 140mph or so through hollow, the majority like to see things they recognise and may have driven.

There is a full report of the meeting now on the Gurston Website for those who are interested.

Thanks for the kind comments! I've always been a saloon car person, be it hill climb or circuit racing its nice to be able to relate to a car involved in the sport! Great pics JTC, i love that audi it looked/sounded awesome and the two UR Quattro's sounded the part aswell!

The Quattro's were rather nice weren't they




Though i think my favourite on the day has to be the imp, something about it....

[minimatt1967]

Don't know what the imp was powered by but it went really well, it was on the list of favourites but their was so much to choose from
