Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Doubt that engine will ever be turned over tbh. Private Collection me thinks.

this is why I don't get it - it's not exactly a looker so wouldn't you just want to drive it as that's where it shines?

I guess I'm not a collector.

1st in class C. It was the Birkett 6 hour relay - out of 71 teams we came 5th overall on scratch, 4th overall on handicap and 1st in class on scratch and handicap. The fact I did only one stint rather than two probably helped in that regard though.

Nicely done! How long was each stint?

Nice review of the relay @danstuff did very well in! Sounds awesome. Maybe in a couple of years.

I've been asked to help with some filming happening on the weekend - I'll be firmly behind the camera, driving a support vehicle, aka filming platform.

The chap who is doing the filming wants something quite high - my Volvo is too low for him.

Does anyone have anything "tall" that I could borrow for Sunday?

Something like a Land Rover would be awesome, or to be honest anything with a bit of height to it.

Needless to say I'll take good care of it, fully insure it, and return it with a full tank of fuel.

Damn fucking awesome car! I am jealous! Congratulations!

And there is nothing wrong with an mx5

Zipcar/zipvan? If no one has anything.

Otherwise you could possibly buy a fiat multipla for £50

I hadn't thought of simply buying a car for ~24 hours.

I wonder if we could find a 4X4 on eBay that finishes at 10am on Sunday morning, that could go back onto eBay that evening?

It varied for each driver depending on what capacity fuel tank they had and how many safety car laps they did. I did one stint of 52 minutes, but the last 12 or so were behind the safety car after a very nasty shunt that happened right next to me (and which I was lucky not to be involved in) which ended up with one driver being flown off in the air ambulance.

Rather brilliant Spa 6 Hours Flickr set

Fook.

Amazing photo set. So many great cars.

Some beauties there!

Awesome - those night time rain pics are bad-arse.

Great set! I just love those little Elan 26Rs

This has been sat outside my place...
