I was posting these at 1.00am this morning, cropping and resizing so I didn't get a chance to do them all.... Milli (Andrwe's 8 month old daughter) sitting in the nostril panel of Eddie's car is a great photo and I'll post that up tonight!

I was so hoping that my exhaust would be complete in time for the run - however hoping wasn't enough so it was still in the shop yesterday. I was ribbed by the guys, they think I have a cardboard cutout of a car that I take photos of..... My secret is out

Norman's car was looking terrific yesterday, sits real low and looks and sounds great. Norman is one of these guys that drives his car very regularly and enjoys it more than any other car he has owned. He has upgraded it quite a bit in the 4-5 years he had it, upgraded it to a 6 speed unit, upgraded suspension, AP brakes and new BRM wheels. I'm not sure if he has done any more work on his 5.0l engine but it does sound mean.

The Gulf car was on its first major outing as was the Viper blue (Eddie's) that had some misfortune and kept throwing it's belt due to a faulty idler pulley. It was a great team effort to get it going again but ultimately Andrew and Eddie got it back to a workshop and fixed and Eddie was home by 9.20pm

As a bystander in a "normal" car following the procession, it was amazing to see the reaction to these cars on busy roads, stopped at lights and even in quiet country pubs. There were passing cars pulling up and out would jump an amatuer photographer and take snaps. Amazing...

Overall a great day

Bill
