Ray, are we still on for a meet?
Ray, are we still on for a meet?
Yes Rhys! Still waiting for an email from a UK buddy regarding a possible Coventry trip, plus a day when a couple of kiwi friends will come up to Nottingham for the day. I'm planning on doing the morning at least, of the Grimsthorpe Castle Speed Trials event, August 26th.
But Ray,
I thought you were joining Bruce Thompson, Rod Grimwood and myself for lunch at Laguna Seca, California on August 26th ?
I guess I got confused between Grimsthorpe and Grimwood. Sorry.

Sorry Ken. Much as I would have liked to have joined you, it wasn't possible.
I have too few days in the UK as it is and I seem to be filling my diary rather quickly, but at least I should have a swag of pictures to share when I do finally return, as I'm away again for a week with my wife, her daughter and another lady, just 2 days after getting back to NZ.
Grimsthorpe Castle popped up via a Facebook page for Raymond Mays.

Sorry for ot Ray, emails are bouncing to the address I have for you.
Email sent Rhys. I had to dump my original email as it was being spammed. Shame, as I'd had it since I first had my own domain.
Looks more like a Holden than an ERA...
That's a wrap. Now back to older stuff recently scanned.
Donington July 9th 1938. Cropped from a larger pic.
September 22nd 2002 - Greg Bellingham's beautiful XJS Jaguar. Not a good day for me though...

Where's the Jag these days? Haven't seen it for years.......
Rumour has it that Greg still owns the car and there was even talk of him coming out to play again. We live in hope.
Back to 2002 - March 30th
The Maybach Special
Out of focus pic for Remi, of Rob Herbert in Dad's Ginetta.

Back to 1970 - another two just for Roger - who may or may not steal them. Bill Viney, Mallory Park - sorry, a little out of focus.
July 1980 - Donington
Back to February 2002 - I hadn't realised until I posted it that it was damaged!
When you could still watch from the exit of Jennian...

Frazer Nash Roger, but it is one of the few meetings where I lost my programme and never managed a replacement. I certainly have it filed as Frazer Nash!
Took a lot of research over an extended period and and no end of emails to even get the date confirmed...
Amazing what you can find when you put the registration plate and Frazer Nash into Google! It's a 1954 Sebring.

PS are you in NZ for Caffeine at the end of July ?? - will be a bit lacking compared to the stuff at Goodwood.
Yup. Still here Roger. C & C is still enjoyable - and free, which Goodwood definitely isn't! I'll probably be there earlyish. Might take the MGF for a WoF and bring it down, but I really do need to sell it, as I just don't use it enough. 1998 and only 70,000kms on the clock.
Well, we should catch up then MGF and MX5 different versions of the same idea a " small affordable Sports Car " from the 1990's ..
If we both get WoF's will be good.. mine tomorrow,more details after that !! will PM my mobile number later

When we get to Formula Fords, I always need to research to find out what they are. Can someone please ID this for me, to save me some time? I should know, but I don't!
Geoff expecting wet weather again...

Ray,
I am not very good with Formula Fords but it does look like a Valour FF that Peter Hughes drove well in about 1972.
Plus some history at this site.

Thanks Ken. Saved me a heap of time! I didn't realise it was also NZ made.
