 I just like the way you stick the camera on the ground and everything looks 10 times as cool!  Or the way sodium brings out the colours and covers up the rust!   Flamed motors at the nats |

Great thread, good way to tie up some highlights not made much effort with photography this year, but i'm planning to keep a personal photo Diary in 2007... Last real Jaunt in the MR2 over to blackpool lights, the GF loves the place  , novelty with heater on full on feet and roof out!   CavMad to the rescue,,, twice, what a top dude, Merry Chrismas mate if ya still reading.  The cortina landed and We've been too busy and its been too dark,cold,and wet ever since!  One of my faves for the Tatton park NWVW show.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

A very very very wet wicked welsh weekend with the imp club, this was just before going out for a run round the local mountains.  The edwardian, an austin chassis with a hall scot aero engine. This was taken at the VSCC sprint, goodwood. it brought back many memories as years ago I used to eat my lunch right nect to the engine, in the Way's kitchen!  Edwardian going sideways, this is why we should have the VSCC at the RR show next year  Delage carbs and the mechanics gloves again at VSCC -  Night picture mission before I pulled the perfectly working imp to bits  And a couple of the imp   Sorry there are more than 3, got a bit carried away, it seems like more has happened this year than any so far! Cheers J |

I love this,  taken in Scotland. My first ever motoring adventure. Just looks great imo. That was such a fantastci week (despite falling off going through road works!) This one is from the VSCC meeting at Oulton Park in June. The first event of that sort that i'd ever been too. boiling hot summer weather, proper historic machinery, and a paddock full of it!  Also,  That was such a great look pocket of Cambridgeshire. Lovely day again, and a lovely summer generally. That picture just takes me back. I could of added me, but stuck to 3, it's been quite a good year really. |

I'd say Spotted Laurels picture of the RR stand from CaRS is my fave Aw, you say the kindest things Best I post it up tonight then eh? I reckon one of mine will be a snap I took of my dearly-missed Starlet with the Kadett and Cortina just before we left for CaRS early on Sunday AM. Top quality retro convoy fun ;D I'm not quite sure how I'm going to choose a favourite one or two from the monster that Spotted's Spottings over on autoshite has become..... |

I'm not too sharp at the artistic sort, but a spot from the Czech Republic that I've posted before  Slammed66 @ CaRS?  & one that's more my style, a local rally, driving how it should be done  |

Oo, just three? That's tough! So here's four. Miura at Croxley Green  This snap just sums up how good a year it's been at the Ace. I feel fortunate to live so close! Executioners Spring Riot in May  First time I'd ever gone to see the start of the London-Brighton run. What a brillant hour or so it was!  And I think this is my favourite photo of one of our cars, actually taken on the way home form the L-B run! 8.30 Sunday Morning, Hampstead Pond.  |

This is the shot for me  Nothing special to look at but it marked the end of a significant wait. Car in storage for two years without the engine turning. Finally got my own place and a garage, rolled the car out on a nice spring/summer day to work on getting started for what seemed the first time in an epic wait. A milestone in my own life. |

Ive chosen some of my MIVW weekend pics, not my best, but they hold such fantastic memories, and I really love rolling shots. Mk1 G60 on the move...  ... and Mk2 Oettinger G60 also on the move with some photography action.  I loved this pic for the vibrant colours and the fact that it looks so much like a photoshop.  |

That's not a photoshop?   Me and HotWire in a service area in Japan, next to a car I'd drooled over many times, but never thought I'd see in the flesh! |
