The Roaring Season

They are great photos, I have always looked at photos like that & envied them being able to get so close to the action. I know its nearly impossible to get that close to the cars this day & age, but there are always some photographers willing to put it all on the line to get the shot. Here are a ...

Here are a couple of pics from a track day I went to the other weekend, its a replica but it is a genuine RS500 & looks the part. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1380594_632256690129454_1112588300_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1380706 ...

Great news, keep up the good work

A couple of great quotes. One by Douglas Bader (WW2 Fighter Pilot) "Rules are for the guidance of wise men & the obedience of fools" Unknown "May the best cheat win" Another funny little story I heard of Harry Firth (the king of bending rules to breaking point) from the 70's after he left Ford ...

Cheers guys, I cant claim the glory for the event I just helped out a little where I could there was a group of us involved at different levels that helped to make it a great day. Steve, I don't think the posters even made it to lunch time, a lot had been snapped up before we even made it to the ...

Scott Fleming still flying the flag for the Lotus Cortina. His best result of the day was 2nd in the group Nb race against some tough competition https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/554528_10151894694211264_1230062045_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3 ...

It was a fantastic day. We had 11 Lotus Cortina's (a couple of ex race cars from the period) on Display at this years Muscle Car masters to celebrate the marques 50th birthday. The day was topped off with having so many of the drivers from the 1960's there as well including, Jim McKeown, George ...

Thanks Steve, I was standing in the middle of the road while he was driving at me, lucky the speed limit is only 60kph down there at this time of year

Great thread, Im loving the old pics. The Sierra was the car that got me interested in motorsport. It was in the early 90's There was a Shell service station next door to my primary school. I remember one of Dick Johnsons Sierras being parked out the front as a promo before a race at Oran Park. That ...

Steve Holmes wrote:Hell yeah! Please do post them up, folk on here would absolutely love to see them. But when you do, please create a dedicated thread for them so they can be fully appreciated.

will do then. Let the scanning begin!!

The 70's - 80's is a grey area for me. I've been through dads collection which is from the late 60's to early 70's (I just have to get some gear to scan slides) then he lost interest in racing beause of family commitments (my fault, lol) then it wasnt till I got old enough to get into cars that we ...

Just to clear it up. I probably should have worded my post better, but the car in the picture that I posted is a replica of the car that was mentioned in the original post.
