Bo'ness Hillclimb

[4hero]

Bo'ness held it's first hillclimb in over 30 years yesterday at Kinneil Estate, and an excellent day it was (if not a bit wet). My 8 year old nephew came along with me, and not once did he say "I'm bored"

Anyhow, here's a few shots.

My nephew explaining to me how to take a proper photograph, he only shoots in RAW on full manual


It was a very wet day.


LOL car




I'm sure it was this that had the quickest time of the day




Lovely DB5 (well, I think it's a DB5)










My car in the car park, getting parked was great fun




Not the best shots in the world, it was pissing down most of the day and the 100-400 was way to much for Bo'ness. It's a good excuse to pop out and get a 70-200 f2.8 though There's some more on my flickr if you fancy a look.

Cheers,

Neil.

Great pics Neil. All very crisp and sharp.

Very nice pics, Neil. I like the photo of the Elan being recovered. You can just imagine the driver thinking, "Put that bloody camera down and come and give us a push".

The Aston looks like a DB4 to me. Beautiful thing.

That Aston is

cheers folks, and thanks for the id on the DB4

Trackside, there were more than enough marshalls trying to decide what to do with it, I had to observe

I've spent the year to date driving hillclimbs and sprints almost every weekend, very satisfying and also very tiring schedule, took a break from the last couple of events and made it to the hillclimb at Boness today briefly . . . a couple of pics . . .







I think they are PH squished . . .

Based on what I've heard (and a number of friends have experienced) about SMRC and some of the games they play . . . no bl00dy wonder they are going to other types of events . . .

Smart people vote with their feet, and sheep just keep on following, like, well, sheep . . .

Cheers ;-)

well what a cracking little hill, shame that is was so wet on Saturday - but then again for those of us who were running a solid rear axle it did mean you could drive like a hooligan

I don't suppose any one got a picture of 57 - our ex Stan Coldham 1948 Cooper going through the courtyard?

rbm, I only got the one shot, and it was crap
