Beautiful work as always Nigel. Those two Thunderbirds must have been impressive to watch!

Thanks Steve. Yes they were - a bit of a handful in the corners I think!!
The orange one is owned and driven by the Mayor of Tauranga, Stuart Crosby, and this was it's first outing since being built.

I know we have to have decals to keep the wheels moving as it were, but some of these machines would look even better in my opinion, with nude paint.

Great to see such a variety of old cars still being raced. Great to see some many Anglias and Mk I Cortinsa still at it.
