Newmarket - the photos

[simpo two]

Our first attendance at Newmarket and we field a dozen cars:



- amongst which is this (genuine) Ford GT:



- which won a trophy and also a place in the local paper!



'Cambridge Advanced Motorists' seemed to be having a few problems...



Another welcome addition to the PHEA stand was this unique Exige - apparently with silk seats



Not sure what this was but it was quite striking - and had a V8



The Pit Bunnies



We also adopted this super Cerbera which I can testify was polished for three hours!



And some general views:

Wow, that was quick with the pics John!

Had a good time, plenty of interesting cars there. Am a few shades redder than normal now though

BTW, it's a Ford GT (not GT40)

Cracking pictures as always John. Hope everyone had a good day. You never know what to expect with a new show, but I thought that it was great (apart from the tit of a childrens entertainer). Like most of you I guess, I,m a little redder this morning, phew it was some hot!!!

[tjdixon911]

Yes had a great show, glad the PH side of things went well! Sorry I couldn't spend more time with the cars!

[Ian V]

No worries Tom. How did the racing go? I did watch a bit of it during the day, but didn,t see your heats.

Looked like a good show. Shame I missed it.

Great photos John
I can't decide which I like the best though. It's either the pit bunnies or the Ford GT!

What was the black Q plated car on the Pistonheads stand with the VW steering wheel?

According to my records it's a Tiger Storm, but with considerable owner input I think I can forward a query to the owner if you want to know more.

I finished 5th in the B final, which isn't too bad, the finals went down to E/F Finals with 6 cars per final.

That's the chap!

Scott; thanks for your kind words - I'm following in Bacardi's wake; now only about 20 years behind and £700pd short!

Less of the 'apparently'! From the Lotus press release:
"Inside the car, the design philosophy has been extended to the seat upholstery (squab and cushion), door inserts and dashboard, using the same Gieves & Hawkes pinstripe wool cloth used in the Spy Suit. Silk, used in the lining of the suit has been used to clad the back of the seats."

Actually we were wondering where you were! You're not down for any PHEA events... Helmingham has the other two Messrs Noble attending; can you complete the set?! Free D70 tutorial

Now you know where those doorstep 'clothing collections' go (sorry Anatol!)

[prmoldoaks]

Yes I shall bring my GT along to some more Shows, it was good to meet you guys and thank you very much for making both my son and myself very welcome on the stand.

Can anyone tell me how you would post a photo on here, thanks.

[Ian V]

Morning Patrick, good to see you on here. You are most welcome at any of the shows we attend. Some do need to be pre booked though. I,m sure the John (simpo two) will let you know the drill.

With regard to posting pictures, firstly you need to have them hosted somewhere on line (such as photobucket etc), when to post a new thread or add to an existing one you will see 'Formatting Codes' to the left hand side of the message box. Click on this and it will give you the code to place before and after the web address of the picture you wish to post. I usually copy and paste the code into the thread as below, and then edit it to the correct web address, that way the spacing is correct. Hope that makes sense !!

Hi Patrick

The exact code to copy and paste is http://(domain)/(folder)/(filename) with [pic] at the front and [/pic] at the end (no spaces - Ian had to add spaces to make the code show)

As an example I have my own domain so I use http://autograph.uk.com/Pix/filename. with the 'pic' tags at each end. You can see this by right-clicking on any of the photos above.

Hope you get the idea!
