Photos - Rockingham Stages Rally

[Trackside]

Last weekend (10-11 December) was the 8th running of the Rockingham Stages Rally. The entry was down by some 40 cars over previous years, but still had around 60 starters. Here are some of my photos from the event.

Hi Gary

I am writing an article for VW Driver magazine and they want to use this photo. Can you email me a larger file for print? [e-mail] They will obviously credit you.
