Lovely Ford V8 pick up, well captured Nigel.
Thanks John. Was that you screaming around the track yesterday? Your falcon sounds brilliant at high revs. We don't always get to hear it clearly when there are multiple cars on the track, but yesterday was memorable.Quote:

That would have been Bruce taking Jen Mossman for a run.
Screaming did you say, was that the car or her perhaps.
And wow, rapt that Blue was so memorable
Glad you managed to upload again Nigel! Great shots as always.

Thanks Nigel for the wonderful photos, especially the Monaro and the # 567 Escort for me.
Sorry I missed you at Taupo.
I am glad you did not give up on us here at TRS.
All the best,
Ken H
Nigel...by any chance did you snap the maroon SSK Mercedes, understand it was a standout.,was next to a vintage white Merc roadster
Yes I did & I'll post some shots. I first saw that SSK Mercedes at the Napier Art Deco Festival in 2016.Quote:

Great stuff Nigel. I nearly went, but hope to go to Otaua this weekend. Some rare cars at Elsmore.
I wonder if the Singer Bantam - #27/4 - is the one I bought off Kevin Andrew as a basket case, but sold on as a basket case?
Haven't seen a Ginetta G15 for a while either. Wasn't that plate on a blue G15, owned by one of the leading lights of the Sports Car Club NZ?
I am sure that if you go to NZ Specials, home built cars thread? this red Ford 10 Special 341-968- is there. Should be Mr Ranby
John, will look that up.. ThanksQuote:

Roger- #186- NZCars- A cottage Industry page 10. I know this car as I trimmed it. Its a lovely proportioned car. 4 friends all built one each off a pattern they made in the 60s. Great story , owner sold it to finance house and family, wife bought it for him as a surprise present -to restore-50 years later.
John, the Story, would love to read it .. or .. if you like send me some information and I will [ over time ] put it together, as I am going to do with Jim Bennett's stuff ..Quote:
