Whoops - no - Peter Hughes must be at a different meeting......damn memory is not what it was.......

[Nick Slade]

Yes, it was a shame I am sure it will be running down there again some time!

[Allan]

Yes GD66 those are from slides.

I have been searching through a lot of old negatives from when I first started taking motorsport photos and I have come up with a few that may be of interest.
The quality isn't that good but they are always fun to look at after all these years

Nothing wrong with those photos Ross, every one a gem.

Ross just jolting my mind, but did you have a Mk1 Escort white and green way back.

No not me Rod, you may be thinking of Dennis Green who was also a keen photographer.
He competed in the odd event also those days.

Thanks for the comment re photos - I will continue to add more soon as I have digitised a
good number now especially from the mid 70's, but there are a huge number of shots I haven't
even looked at yet up to the early 80's.

These are wonderful! I am seriously struggling to remember the livery of the M4A by then.

Here's another shot taken around the same time to jolt your memory Michael

[Michael Clark]

It's not happening for me Rossco - red and white?

Same time frame, but 2 different colour schemes, front wings and sign writing, and second photo is on slicks. Ross Galagher was pretty good charger, and going way back in brain think first colour was blue, and think you may be right Michael with second photo.

Here's another lot from a bit later now that we are in the mood.......

That should do for a while, hope they are of interest

Wow these are just stunning Ross! I especially love the opening shot of Reg Cook in the T300. To my mind this is the best profile of the T300. Out of interest, the second car pictured which appears to be Robbie Francevic, what sort of car is this?

I believe this is Robbie Booth in the Begg - Chev FM4

[Steve Holmes]

Ahhh, right, makes more sense than Francevic.

[Steve Holmes]

By the way, is Robbie Booth related to Andy Booth?

[BMCBOY]

I think they are father and son
