Proof that the Old Rover was put to the test

[tyre_tread]

Just found some pics of "Benson" being hooned around Castle Coombe on a Haynes classic motorsport day. This is probably the best:



I held off the MG for two laps until my 8 laps were over! Needless to say the 911 fared better!

Can't post as the file is too large - Grrr! How do I edit the size (reduce the data) of a picture without losing the full picture?

If your using paint, go to [image] and select [stretch skew] and enter percentage in for reduction.

Or

You can right click the file and select [mail to], this will then give an option to resize before sending, select 640 x 480 this will then reduce size and place in a new email.
You can then remove the file from this email and use it.

Right click it open it with microsoft office picture manager. Then re-size, or email it to me... I will do it

Was trying to do it with software that will definately be on the machine.

I thought that PH had its own resizing program that shrunk the pics down to fit, might be wrong though, what hosting site are you using?

Excellant mate!
Good to see Benson in his element.

Must be pretty frightening really, not the best handling car in the world!
(No offence).

Most excellent indeed! A nice old rover on a circuit not something you see everyday!

Note the castors fitted to the door handles

Like most cars of the era, once you understand the body roll and set it up for cornersa ccordingly its surprising how fast it can be hustled along.

Bear in mind I had just rebuilt the suspension so I was confident that all the components were in good order
