I wish these photos were bigger. Some really interesting metal in there. Whose are the three Escorts in the bottom left shot? And is that the Frank Ryan Capri in bottom right?

[Jac Mac]

Im struggling with the escorts, could be any of the following, Blair Paton?, Dave Grant, Frank Ryan, Hammond, Neilson, Agnew?.. memory isnt good on this stuff...not enough cylinders!!

Yes Ryans Capri in early formatt by the look of it, was built originally with radiator in rear & coilovers mounted on end of extensions of the lower trailing arms at rear, both of which were changed to more conventional layouts soon after... Paul Kirk will know more, IIRC he did a lot of driving & development work on the car..

Just booked flights can't wait for weekend, can you guy's sort out the shaking thing for us. Just been talking to nephew who is visiting his mum down there and he said he woke with a good shake this morning. Looks like good entries in most classes, bring on the OSCA and F5000s that will make the ground shake.

[Munty]

Quick update... Fisher/Elvy & others Capri up and running well last weekend, Crowe Starlet 1 confirmed, Jac Mac 2Dr Cortina getting clutch fitted now and then shes ready for the track, Johnston Avenger all but finished and looks immaculate.
Tickets for the 40th reunion function selling fast so dont leave it till the last minute.
Cheers Munty

Flights are now booked for the trip across the ditch - really looking forward to the Lady Wigram Revival meeting.

Munty, will reunion tickets still be available at the door on Saturday night?

[Munty]

Hi, yes door sales on the night will be on as the venue can hold approx 700 people and we are expecting 400-500. No one who travels will miss out I can assure you, cheers

[Munty]

Only just over a week to go and both the OSCA and Historic OSCA fields are looking great for the Lady Wigram Meeting.
Tickets are still available for the function.

Hi Evan, sorry we will not be there as we are in Europe catching up on motorsport there. Please pass my best wishes onto all the old buggers. We will both be thinking of you all during the time of celebration and also of all the magic times at Timaru.

[Rod Grimwood]

Congratulation Evan and all your team of helpers for a great night and also all involved at Ruapuna for the meeting, it was a very enjoyable week end all round. Thanks again to the Southern hospitality, it never fails.

Hi Evan, I want to add to Rod's comments - it was a great weekend and you did a fantastic job in putting it all together. I didn't hear from anyone who didn't really appreciate your efforts and the atmosphere.

[Steve Holmes]

I'd love to see some photos if anyone took any?

[Rod Grimwood]

There were some nice cars in the pits, some did laps some did not. But it was great to see them and also some of the people involved over the years.
Hopefully Mike Fiest may put some action shots up at some time as i am strictly stationary material.

Some more

[Rod Grimwood]

This was the sad part of the week end. I hope it all comes right again, as it was flying and is a real classic.

[Rod Grimwood]

A few of the other classics there, and are a credit to their owners for the presentation and the way they are driven. This is alot of history we were fortunate to see doing it again.
