Memory Lane
The amusing thread with Conrod, got me thinking of yesteryear, so I dug out some old pic's and have scanned them. Those of you of a certain age may enjoy them.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...020_edited.jpg My mates 1275GT, Engine in/out? http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...019_edited.jpg I hate green, but loved my 3.1S Capri - some of you may recognise the location? http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...021_edited.jpghttp://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...022_edited.jpg Andy and I at the start of strip down - note the lovely clean colour matched overalls, and no I can't rememeber why he had an umbrella. Any one recognise my little helper? http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...023_edited.jpg Seam welded, caged, finally after over a year the new engine goes back in. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...016_edited.jpghttp://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...017_edited.jpg After the RS2000 was stolen, I bought a damaged RS1600i, can you see how impressed my Mum was! RS owners track day at Brands http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...013_edited.jpghttp://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...010_edited.jpg What the fook did I look like!

My brother helping with the hat, and who's the tiny brunette? http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...015_edited.jpg Lastly, anyone recognise this little fella in the Zip Kart? |

We used to drive to events, so although the army surplus biggles jacket looked ridiculous, it was very warm :) |

My list of race cars all RWD;
Mk 1 Escort RS2000 Hillman Imp Mid mounted RS2000 engine Rover SD1 3.5 v8 tuned to 275hp Mk 2 Escort RS 2000 Toyota starlet RS2100 engine. writing this list makes me think I must of had a fixation for the 2.0 pinto engine. And also each car brings back memories. Will try and find some pictures of each one. :thumb: |
I really can't believe you two - clearly shows how memories fade the older you get!
Neither of you have mentioned your most recent & possibly most sucessful racecar - 100% winnig record? http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...t/DSC08102.jpg Oh, and thanks Neil - I really needed Si wanting to turn out the cupboard to look for his old pics - I am trying to tidy up as mother is visiting for half term.......:nono: |
