Playday SI photos (finally)

[GravelBen]

Having got my PC fixed at last I can finally start uploading some photos from the South Island Playdayweek - thanks to Luke for playing with my camera at Teretonga and my little brother at Levels. Will add them bit by bit as get things uploaded, here's a wee sequence to start with .

That particular set of corners arrived MUCH more quickly that you might initially anticipate

Many a car have I seen straight-line it across the grass and find the hidden bump in the infield

Perhaps the freighters were trying to wipe the smile off them?

Any news on that Graham?

The wear on the suspension is quite light and of a type more likely to have been caused by normal use than a series of sharp lateral impacts. So it will just be two rim repairs and the trailer & toolbox repair. Getting all the paperwork sorted at the moment.

I assumed you'd drawn them on there and had to scroll up to check the original photo

nice pics...

do you know what was model the 944 was?


Hmmm... so where's the black lotus?

944 was an S2, seemed reasonably modified with adjustable suspension, bucket/harness, sticky tyres etc.

I don't recall a black Lotus at Teretonga or Levels, just the grey Elise and a bright yellow Esprit V8 (when it wasn't breaking down) which I seem to have missed in the photos posted so far.

An assortment from Levels:

^^Fantastic corner for lift-off oversteer antics
