Just A Mix Of Pics - Ray Green Collection

[ERC]

Diane Sharpe's car (Marcos #17 above) was originally a V4 but converted to V6. Diane sold it at auction I believe and it was bought by a guy in Taupo, who passed away not too long after. His widow was tricky to deal with (not in a nasty way, far from it) but I'm not sure what has happened to it since. It would certainly need a full restoration.

Phil Jackson's V4 - part restored is for sale, but I haven't yet been to see it.

Phil Foulkes' plywood V6 is also for sale.

My 3 litre Volvo may also be for sale probably 2020 - when I can get back to it and get it through a WoF and back on the road. Shouldn't be too difficult - I hope.

Also need to shift the 1961 Greeves Villers single which also needs finishing, assembling properly and wiring etc. Number plate in the UK (still on the UK system) is worth at least 5 times the value of the bike!

Found my Hamilton Programme at last. I had it alongside the laptop and hidden under a book, (my wife probably tidied up...) rather than in the box or pile of programmes in what I refer to as an office and my wife refers to as either a tip or a no-go area.

Car 11 is down in the programme as a 1961 Ford Scorpion and driven by Kylie Walker. Such an error prone programme that it may or may not be 100% correct - and I can't remember seeing the car since. An internet search hasn't shown up anything though.

Ray I just found the old post and put the entry list / results for the races 1994 Telecom .. you got the Christian name .. Thanks

Apologies if any of these older ones have been shown before, but initially, I never kept a file of TRS postings, but now I do... Over 6,500 images I am aware of.

2012 Monaco. I'd have to say that I wouldn't attend this meeting again, as it was only through our links with the McLaren Trust and a bit of cheek on the Friday, that I got anywhere except our designated stand. Even though adjacent stands were less than a third full, the jobsworths would only allow access to the one stand.

ERC, Ray, the Monza Jaguar - offset driving position, so presume could be run as a Sports car with cycle guards and lights and a - ' nominal ' passenger seat. I like it.

MX5 with spare in the Continental position, not so sure !!.

Keep them coming.

Apart from maybe the Caffeine & Classics, last event of the year today. Bright sun early on was still causing me a bit of discomfort after the two cataract ops, so I didn't stay long - but did manage to get the ex Geoff Bonham (Leisuretime), ex yours truly, ex Derek Moore, ex Miles Petersen, ex Steve Harris (AES) MGB GT fired up...

A newcomer(!) to the ERC grid today, Paul Adams.

I'm not a huge fan of American cars, but it doesn't stop me adding pics to my library!

Bazooka lens day... All pics taken during practice.

New owner Rob Berrgren driving his own car, instead of former owner Bruce Manon.

Today will be the last picture postings until just after Christmas, as we are off to the Big Smoke (Sydney...) tomorrow and cruising back to NZ. Depending on internet access on the Ruby Princess, there may or may not be an occasional post.

Just the sort of car we once took for granted.

BMC Formula Junior


Not Joseph Lucas...




No idea who owns this - but it did overtake me in the 80kph limit around Manurewa. Mind you, just about everyone overtakes me in the 80kph limits, even though I am going about 85-88...

Still at sea. But Merry Christmas to all regulars who pop into this thread.

Looking at a Nikon P900 camera (fixed lens) on board, but did a Google review and it seems they only do 360 pics per battery charge.

However, have an x83 zoom, equivalent to 2000mm - twice as long as my bazooka lens. Tempted, but will wait until ashore I think and have a chat with the local camera shop. If anyone has any experience of this camera, feel free to offer advice.
