[DaveG]

Had some fun at Oulton on Saturday, I was accredited with a press pass and had access all areas. Hurrah!

TVR Tuscan doing what TVR Tuscans do best, and easily it would seem

Up to Lodge now, getting a bit wide and using all of the circuit and most of the grasscrete

Down to Old Hall. He might be in a tatty old Escort XR3i but he's going for it

Nice pics Dave. Press passes rock.
The 200mm+ pics, did you use the 135-400 or the 70-200 with an extender?
I can't wait for my first car event with the new lens smileys/smiley14.gif

70-200 with a 2xTC

what have you bought, Dutchy?

[DaveG]

more toss

Very tidy TVR Griff, seemed to corner on rails. Was either well sorted or the driver was smoother than Des Lynam dunked in a vat of baby oil

Bonkers TVR Sagaris race weapon. Looked to be brand new, picked up the pace as the race drew on

Just playing around on the grid with this one.

Next event that side of the fence is August 5th @ Castle Coombe. Should be a giggle, and I'll be able to top up my tan.
