ALL race cars should sound like that. Best sounding car i've heard at Le Mans. Nice shot too Ziggy - did you focus through the fence or get around it?

Here are some of mine, sorry for the size!:

That was a terrible effort at a bonfire, at least till Dave got involved anyway!

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:55 pm

Will do so tomorrow Dan, I actually hat about 150 photos, I didnt think I took that many!
Got some wicked vids too!

Post Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:56 pm

Dan, not uploaded yet, but I've got some that are ok

Got it down to 200 good-ish ones - might pare them down further, but it'll be somewhere around there. Might get a chance to upload some tomorrow...

Love your shot of the beast! & the ones of Sun night came out particularly nicely too

Tom, I'm on Facebook once in a blue moon! Add me - Can't be too many Jon Comans on there, & that zone group I set up should still be there I guess?!

Nice pics Mike!

That one was through the fence - managed to get up close(-er than I should have been!) to it with a reasonably long lens...

what me officer

I had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with that petrol getting anywhere near that fire

Post Fri Jun 26, 2009 12:25 pm

Awesome pictures except the one that makes me look akin to a 'mongloid.' Cheers boss!

I'll have a little look through mine, I think there are 1 or 2 'good' ones and email or post them too you before the end of next week.

I don't do facebook.

Post Fri Jun 26, 2009 7:52 pm

Didn't get shot in Egypt then?

Post Fri Jun 26, 2009 8:03 pm

Suprisingly not.

It is going to suck having to reduce back down to one hot meal a day, from three, with dinner and lunch being three course.
