pre war hill climb....

[Camper Dave]

i attended a pre war (pre 1939) hill climb a week ago and i've got my pics back so thought i'd share

the panning shots were my first attempt too

the body of the car in the last pic was built by a plane manufacturer. it was canvas stretched over a timber frame :shock: very cool 8)

cheers,
dave

all of the pics are nice. the panning attempts are good.

the design of the last is smart...light and fast.

[Camper Dave]

cheers dude

btw, what does "¿dónde estaba eso?" mean? or has my puter gone mad?

 

[captain-spanky]

it means 'where was that?'

 

[Camper Dave]

ah! t'was at harewood hillclimb, near to harewood house. used to be a bit of a dump but it's a really nice track now. would be super cool to hold a vdub show there. it's a good windey (sp?) track, none of this namby pamby straight line stuff

 

[captain-spanky]

well i always enjoyed organising Bugsperience with the rest of the B.aD. club.... maybe we should organise a VW/Porsche/retro style hill climb?

 

[Camper Dave]

that would be seriously cool. if you're really interested then i'll drop the track a line and we can see what's what. they definately let you hold events there as it was the Classic Sports Car Owners Club that organised this event i went to.

would be very cool 8)

this is the course btw;

 

[captain-spanky]

how much did you have to pay to get in?
do you know how much they charged the racers?

 

[Camper Dave]

it was £6 to get in i think but no idea what they charged the racers. most of em were a bunch of toffs though so it prob wouldn't have bothered them either way
