... in fact, stiff lower lip too!

IIIc, Schneider Tele-Xenar.

If that's not a good shot, I'll show my arse in Barnack's Bar.

Richard Seaman Memorial trophy races, 1975. Oulton Park. This is one of six photos, from the day, which funded the purchase of a rather nice Pentax.

..... Shuffles off with smug expression.....

One of your best ever Pete(Mr.) and I bet it's hanging somwhere nice, for everyone to enjoy.
Perfect timing and very nice tonality.

Thankfully we will not be exposed to the Taylor posterior in Barnack's Bar since it is a great picture Pete.

have you still got the IIIc?

Stolen a long time ago, as was my Dad's Rollei and a few other treasures.

As GOOD as it gets! Just a superb, timeless photograph.

Cheers,

Perfect timing with perfect results.

Pete -

You have no idea how relieved I am that this is a superb photo. Your bare arse at Barnack's Bar might have emtied the place.

stnami · 09/14/07, 12:36 PM

OK Andreas - time for some forum downtime!

decisive moment!!

KEEP YOUR PANTS ON!!!

Nice one, really shows the concentration and the deft touch that these cars demand.

What really makes this (for me) is that hulking beast lingering in third behind the two smaller cars...kind of like the shark waiting to bite.

Great shot Pete.

Thanks.

OK, I've been moderated! Trousers will not be dropped.

The big difference between then and now is the tyres- today they tend to be much stickier and often wider; result is less sliding round corners. In those days it was all arms and elbows!

Thanks again folks.
