YES!
well done Bob, caught me at last. A minor miracle as I hardly ever race in UK and never at the posh meetings you seem to major on. Actually that's a pretty old shot, before I filled in the rear deck space behind the seat with ally sheet. Maybe around 2005 or 6?
Still using the knock-on Minilites on the Lenham.
Happy days...

David, when working as a radio reporter my business card bore the slogan;
"No reputation too small" one week I could be swanning around the Grand Prix paddock, the next trackside at a 750 MC meeting. Of course this was only a hobby and mostly unpaid, but it got me in for free with a programme thrown in and lots of perks.
I have been hugely privileged to have interviewed many of the most famous names in the sport, Moss, Surtees, Brabham, Stewart, Mosely, and many more, and dozens of club racers from every level.

But it never went to my head.

I reckon 2006. In 05 you were sharing my car with me. By 07 you'd got rid of the Boadecia Blades.

Happy days indeed.

I only take the pictures, so have no idea which one is you, I took the little blue car to be Turner, but assumed you drove a Midget, therefore it can't be you in the MGA.

Or am I on the wrong tack entirely?
Further elucidation might lead to additional coverage.

I was quite happy to believe you had just performed a demon outbraking manoeuvre and had dived down the inside of the 'B' under brakes.

What's pic 1 in #1775, please? The bonnet looks like a DB Citroën but obviously its not the answer. Thanks for the Triumphs.

Gerald, it is a Westfield Sportscar, made in 1987; do not know model. My appreciation to the DVLA website.

Send them to me and I will try, you have my email.

Hard working lot these marshals, and with a sense of humour, even if rather macabre.

A couple of very elegant sportscars from rbs. The top one I believe is the original Twin Cam engined Nomad Mk1 while the little orange Group C lookalike could be the Lynx AE bike engined sports racer.
