Roll over bar fitted since I last saw the Arnolt

Roll over bar does nothing for the looks - and seems to be lacking back stays.

When some food outlets at events charge like wounded bulls, (possibly charged too much by event organisers to even be there), how refreshing to see a van with decent looking food and at a sensible price - at Caffeine & Classics.

I'm hoping that this year's Revival, with the Nikon P900 camera's built in 2000mm lens, I'll get some better pics from this vantage point, but the image quality isn't as good or as fast writing to the card as the regular camera with an interchangeable lens. Battery capacity isn't so good either. So I'll still be relying on the regular camera but won't be lugging the 2.5kg bazooka lens around.

ERC, What a great photo of the Bugatti cockpit.. All work and no comfort in there, and right on that gearbox ..
They may be future classics to the youngsters of today, but I can't see much individuality myself. I have to consult the race programme to identify them!

and a dig into the archives, in an effort to file older stuff that has been scanned but sitting around on the computer.
I believe 1989 January 15th, but happy to be corrected. Apologies if these have been posted previously.

In 2005, we were in the South Island for a surprise 60th birthday in Queenstown, but stayed on to drive the lower part of the south island, which just happened to have a race meeting on at Teretonga. After a week of temperatures in the early to mid 30s, the weather was far from kind at the track, so one day, I'd love to go back when the weather is better.

What is interesting about this is that the V12 E Type had only been released a matter of a week or two before this appearance.

Good to see Donn White in the 1973 " Bathurst Spec " Mini Clubman. he has still got it.
Ray———- re Herb Deeks Wire Wheels. Do a Google search on that. Might help——- seems to be some there
I've tried chaindrive but no luck. One set where they wanted $33 postage! I'm putting out feelers for anyone with 3D drawing/printing skills to come up with a file, then I'll go out and buy a 3D printer and knock out a few sets!
I'll be in touch Rhys.
Just managed to secure MIQ (quarantine) for my original planned return date from the UK, September 23rd, so my original plans stay, meaning a call at Curborough September 5th!
It means I'll take even more photographs than usual whilst away, as 14 days in quarantine will give me some time to get stuck into the deleting, cropping, sorting and filing, which usually takes me about three months.
So far, that means photographs at:
Curborough
Caister Museum (previously visited but photography was banned)
Possibly the Silverstone experience and maybe a call at Bicester
Three days of Goodwood
Maybe a return to either Haynes, or Brooklands - still debating that.
Whatever, the chance for several thousand pics and who knows, that may be my last opportunity to visit the UK as no plans for 2022 and just a cruise call in for 2023.
Images disappeared, so hope these are the right ones!

Something completely different. My much loved dad was in some respects, a better diarist than Samuel Pepys!
He used to assist at a local garage, and somehow or other, managed to record vehicles he'd probably filled with petrol or at least observed.
This one page extract from his notebook shows that he started recording in 1930 (aged 15), to 1936.
The detail is staggering and must have been transposed later.
If anyone wants another indexed page scanning, just let me know.
I hadn't even heard of a Cluley until I read this. Another forgotten Coventry make from 1920-1928.
Another lucky dip.
