From our local BOP Times thanks to Colin Smith.

Proud owner of the PDL(Replica)70 Mustang and HMC racer Tony Mexted said the Festival events was the most fun he'd had in a long time, I tend to agree with him by the looks!!

Is that bloke Colin Smith who shot the pics for the BoP Times feature the ex-Rhubarb pilot? Adrian Rimmer's cousin ?

[Grant Sprague]

Yep Paul on the right , hey ummmmm thought it was about the cars not the stars lol .... WELL done Tony

[Murray Maunder]

Nah mate,

Colin the photographer is quite a bit younger and less hairy - haven't seen the other one for a while! Colin has been avidly pushing motorsport and motoring with the BOPT for quite a few years and covers many motorsports on 4 wheels and 2.

We have the Legends meeting in a week and half(weekend after Easter) at Hampton Downs, hope to see some of you there!! will be missing a few entries due to clashing with the Beach Hop, those of us that do turn up will have some fun regardless!! this is also our last Historic event and the last weekend of daylight saving, not to be missed.

[GD66]

Wow, that's nasty. How did the marshal fare ?

[Kiwiboss]

Currently got this 65 Mustang under construction for HMC, be ready for next season and the MG Classic.

[Steve Holmes]

Wow, I love that Mustang. The changes you've made with the rear flares etc have already made a huge difference.
