Wow, you were busy Keith.

Some great phots there. Didn't take too many myself but will get them up sometime in the week when I have a bit more time.

Thoroughly enjoyed it today. Good to meet up with you all again.

Hope to see you at Longbridge.

Brilliant as usual Keith. Glad I polished the car, she did look shiny there, just as well with Paula as passenger up the "Hill" it wouldn't have done to have a scruffy car now, would it ?

Did anybody get shots of the leap of faith at the top of the hill, I'm sure at least two wheels were airborn on the first run

Paula must be made of tough stuff, she stayed on for the second run

.

Can you send a couple of picture to me please Keith

I was as 'bad' taking so many pictures when we had film in the cameras but now it is digital the world is my oyster as it is not so costly to see what you have, just a memory or battery capacity issue and so far neither have held me back

Pity the angle of the F/TF windscreens seem to reflect the light so much so you can not see the drivers or passengers as well as some of the other cars.

Any pics you want Adrian (or anyone else), I can send you the full sized images if you tell me which you desire.

Yep Keith, you're right. I can only just remember the days of 35mm film now. I can't imagine how I took 1550 pictures at the Le Mans Classic and over 2200 on the Zug trip last year, I don't think Luxembourg-Sweden will be any better this year

I didn't take too many pictures at Brooklands this year, it was a good data gathering day and driving test hill is a bit difficult to get pictures so it was nice seeing yours, although I did get all of the LE cars photographed and recorded

May I have from your list 51, 61, 70-73 please Ta muchly.

Circular polarising filter is what you need

I was watching - and I think it was all four!! Didn't manage to get a pic as my battery went just before you came up - but the sight of the marshalls face as he dived for cover will be imprinted on my memory for years - pure comedy!!

I would of loved to of seen a picture of my face!!

Thank you for taking me with you Adrian it was great!! The memory will keep me warm while GG is broken

Ally, were you there I didn't see you, then it's actually hard to see anybody because you are concentrating so hard on hitting the top without letting off or braking then getting everything turned 90 degrees without hitting the barrier (that surprised me because it wasn't there last year

). So glad I done it though, I've done it in the F and now the TF so I'm happy, if you get the chance next year, go for it but look at the top first, it's very sharp.

Did anybody get a picture of the start as I couldn't get a shot of the Centenary banner across the start line ?

Paula, what's the matter with GG , is she not well ?

edit....just read technical, I'm sorry to hear about it Paula, hope she's as good as new when it's done.

Damien, that would be superb, a great addition to the car's history on the occasion of the centenary
