Just A Mix Of Pics - Ray Green Collection

[ERC]

Back to Goodwood.
The JBW Maserati which I remember well from Mallory Park race programmes, but I'm sure I hadn't seen it on track before Monaco 2012.

Who said the British didn't make classy utes?

The inner car park for GRRC members usually has a good mix of cars and is conveniently situated on the Lavant Straight

This was in the transport parade and is a replica of the George Formby bike as used in the film.

1937 MG Bellvue Special. Sadly, it failed in practice and didn't race on the Saturday.

You call that a racing Fiat 1100?

This is a racing Fiat 1100!

Did you get to talk with the guy who has the "Shuttleworth" Ray? What a character and so very very amusing.

[ERC]

No I didn't Rhys - unfortunately. As one who has always had a fondness for banjos of any sort, from the tenor banjo in a jazz band, to the 5 string for bluegrass and country music to the (Formby) banjolele and 8 string mandolin banjo. Graeme Hardy, the Shuttleworth rider, who apparently did a good job of impersonating Formby, plays!

Incidentally, the bike was based on a Triumph.

Ray - that Fiat probably wouldn't get a CoD in NZ or be allowed to run at Manfeild as it doesn't have a front bumper...

One of my favourites. The Lister Sunbeam Tiger.

Thanks for the one of the Hibberd Buckler Ray,can I post to Buckler page with your credit (before Roger gets there ) The guy with the Formby replica has a most unfortunate face, but makes the very most of it. He set up a wonderful tribute at the Bicetster "Flywheel" event and rode there too. If resizing wasn't so tedious again I would post.

[ERC]

Yes Rhys, you can repost. I think I published one of that car a week or two ago.

Try this Rhys.

Install the programme from the link below.

Copy your full size pics to a new directory. (Important as you don't want to resize the originals.)

Go to the new directory on Windows explorer.

Either click on the image you want to resize and then right click which should give you the resize options. (I created two custom ones for TRS - 700 pixels wide for landscape, 700 pixels high for portrait.)

Or select the whole batch and resize the whole lot together.

Unfortunately, we can still only load one pic at a time which is a real pain - then, often, the attachment pics all disappear from TRS anyway so have to be reloaded...

From the previous winners parade - Lister Bristol

You can always find one Gordon Keeble...

Lister Chevrolet

Spot the Kiwi link

[khyndart in CA]

Ray,
That is a real united nations group; 2 Englishmen, 2 Australians, 1 Swede, 1 South African and a Kiwi.
I would love to know more about this group.
Has anyone read this book ?
(Is that Bruce and Patti McLaren on the front cover ?)

(Ken H )

[Michael Clark]

Don't think so Ken

[khyndart in CA]

You are correct Michael.
Perhaps it is Richard Attwood in a Lola Mk 5A in 1963 at Crystal Palace Park.

Just look at the crowds!

Another rarity!

Gemini FJ

Sadly, this Aston Martin didn't make race day either.

This did...

I managed via the interweb, to purchase an SMER kit of the Talbot, (used to be Merit) but noted that at Goodwood, there were two cars there - and the shades of blue were totally different. The kit was cheap but someone has already pulled many of the parts off the plastic sprigs, which may make painting more difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if some bits were missing either.

Merit Talbot and 4CLT

[ERC]

Thanks chaindrive. I nearly managed to get to the Herb Deeks shop in Anaheim, but ran out of time, so still looking to purchase a couple of sets of the wire wheels. If you are ordering, please add a couple of sets for me!

Sadly, the red Lotus Cortina didn't survive the weekend either, with a dramatic rollover during Sunday's race.

Another past winner.

[chaindrive]

Deeks usually on Evilbay. But not at the moment

Probably the most successful of all ERAs - 'Remus' (R5B - 1936) demonstrated here by Ludo Lindsay. His father the Hon Patrick Lindsay with characteristic red shirt, was a huge crowd favourite. Winner at Goodwood 1998, 1999, 2000, 2005, 2008 and 2009.

Love the Javlin Ray...
