Post #321 - #1. Brilliant shot! Cars with attitude...
Post #322 - Car #43. Donn White's Mini originally, but who was driving?
Yes Donn got it new in 1973 a Bathurst Clubman GT [ 1275 motor ] - special Australian Mini and sold it a few years later, he bought it back in the late 80's early 90's and fully restored it - [need to check my stuff -] have seen his car a couple of times at Car Shows - Greerton Vintage Fayre a year or two back, and Tauranga VCC show recently.
Great to see it on track.

Does the Mk 3 Zephyr no 302 in post 333 have rear wheel steer? Check out the toe out on the right rear wheel.
optical illusion I reckon
Classics Museum, Hamilton. It's been a while since my last visit so must go again soon.

Great stuff as always Nigel. I have cut back the number of pics per post from 6 to usually 4, as I seem to have viewing issues on the laptop, and I know Oldfart was also having similar problems, probably due to the amount of memory. Fine on the PC.
Nigel, why do photos of car 22 the Leda GM1 come out looking orange instead of the STP colour? I thought it must be a fault with my camera until I saw yours were the same.

I don't know. I've often wondered the same thing. Perhaps a computer geek could enlighten us.
Not sure Nigel/Milan, but 'DayGlo' cannot be mixed from rgb (red blue green) nor the three primary colours, (red, yellow and blue), nor the three computer/film colours of cyan, magenta and yellow.
'DayGlo' was I believe the original trade name and back in my screen printing days, the DayGlo inks were quite specific.
From Google:
"DayGlo fluorescent pigments, a new class of pigments based on fluorescent dyes and polymeric materials, were developed between the 1930s and 1950s by scientists at Switzer Brothers, Inc. (now Day-Glo Color Corp.). These pigments absorb various light frequencies (visible and invisible to the human eye) and reemit them, producing intense visible colours that appear to glow, even in daylight. Switzer Brothers, Inc., introduced novel processes that eliminated the limitations in light fastness and colour strength of earlier fluorescent pigments, resulting in new applications in advertising, packaging, flaw detection and safety."
Hope that helps. In a nutshell, without the appropriate pigments, you cannot reproduce DayGlo.
