    Not ERC runners. Love the looks of these. Although it goes against the grain for some drivers, allowing in classic moderns is inevitable, as the number of older classics out on track continues to shrink and/or are taking longer and getting more expensive to fix when they do go wrong or incur panel damage.

    Rumour has it that Grant Hannah is trying to purchase another TR7 V8, having sold his original to Jo Clegg!

    Sadly, whatever I was fiddling with in terms of camera settings meant that a lot of pics got dumped once they'd been downloaded, so this is the last batch.

    On to Caffeine & Classics, Smales farm, Feb 25th. First arrivals received a free gift of a safety triangle. I was early... At about 8:30, the first car park area was already about three-quarters full and by the time I left at 11am, the whole of the Smales Farm area was full with cars still filtering in and being parked anywhere the hard working marshals could slot them.

    Many are regulars so I tried to take photographs of cars I hadn't seen before or were in a better location than previously.


    In the 'not what it seems category', this Austin had a tranverse engine fitted - or so I was told. As can be seen from the lack of crowds, this was first thing in the morning.

    Many of you locals will have seen the current Mercury Energy TV ad featuring this very car, driven by a couple of old codgers, sneaking out at night and doing a bit of good old fashioned hooning. Whilst at C & C, there was a bit of further filming going on, for a TV spot a night or two later.

    A peek under the bonnet explains the reason why. All electric.

    This engine was sitting in a vehicle so far removed from the engine's origins. A tatty ute and I can't remember now what it was! East German maybe?

    Back to basically genuine cars, but you never really know...

    Down as a custom built Talbo on carjam, but that should really be Talbot. However, I'm assuming it is an English built not French built but if anyone really knows, it would help me with the filing! Until then, it is in the ever growing pile of 'not able to be filed'.

    You might well be right Rhys, but it could have been a Polonez or something equally undeserving!

    Cars and/or racers normally seen at the track.

    John Hudson calculated that as his first race at Pukekohe wouldn't be until after 11am, he had the time to grab a free safety triangle and possibly a hot cross bun.

    I'm waiting for Paul to bring along that gorgeous Ferrari 250 GTO replica... but maybe it shouldn't be risked with so many people around. Lots of people stopped to admire the Lamborghini though.

    No, I think that was the only one this time Rhys. Nothing else even remotely similar either.

    Nice to see the Frasers out in force. Possibly one of several groups meeting at C & C before a Sunday trundle through the countryside.

    Just for a change, I opted to stand roadside if only for a variety of photographs. It can get a bit repetitive when they are all parked up and crammed together.

    Most of these were taken before 9am and remember, it was supposed to be a 10am start...

    Just the Saturday morning practice today at the HRC Legends meeting. Generally, decent sized grids (for practice anyway) - and another slow drive home early afternoon, with SH1 clogged from south of Drury to Takanini. Those heading that way south in the morning had a delay too.

    This camera seems to have a mind of its own. I'd set the focus point OK, then low and behold, later on, it changed itself. Overall though, a much better day with the camera than at Pukekohe, so much so, that I persevered with the long lens for all action shots, as I need the practice!

    Just three taster pics at the moment, with Chudleigh waving one and almost two wheels. Great to see.

    Ex Bruce Kirk Volvo which has been registered with ERC for a while, but only the second time out - first time I have seen it. Beautifully presented too.

    Nigel will probably post his pics before I return to this meeting, so keep an eye out on his thread, as no doubt he will have taken a fair few.

    The Volvo, #142, now owned by Stuart Crosby of Tauranga. He usually drives the orange Thunderbird in Pre 65's but it's currently undergoing some engine repairs.

    Back to February Caffeine & Classics - and next week, it will be time for another! (Once again, the pics disappeared...)

    As always, great diversity.

    Our thanks to you and Nigel for the great photos of all sorts of interesting stuff that some of us a little remote from these events would never see.
