Btcc Snetterton

[coolcat]

I'm up to the boat this Saturday but she won't be cruising.

Will be spending the night on board and then driving to Snetterton Sunday morning for the British Touring Car Championship, anyone else on here going ?

My least favorite date on the whole calendar, but guessing Sheddon will be favorite for pole, race day not so sure.

I am off to Budapest in the morning,  Formula One here I come.

Well, I really like it, far better from a photographers point of view than Rockingham or Silverstone

Let me think about that……  NO

Snetterton is always a favourite. Here we are in I think 2013. Pre 1959 historic touring cars was our class.

Very nice Zephyr six ? or is it a four cylinder ?

I will be at Snetterton on Sunday too, for the BTCC. 

Hopefully it will stay dry (fingers crossed)

It could have been the Consul, Zephyr or Zodiac, these were a big car in those days with the large Wolseley or Austin Cambridge.

In the early 60s we had a Wolsley 6/99 and when the ambulance took me into hospital at 3.00am to give birth to my daughter, my husband followed in the car. Halfway there the ambulance man in the back with me called out to the driver "Hey Bert we've got a police escort for this one,mistaking our car for a squad car because of the illuminated emblem in the upper centre of the radiator. We often used to find ourselves going everywhere at night at a snail's pace because vehicles in front mistook us  for  a police car

Its a '57 Zephyr Zodiac with the 2.5 on an Aquaplane triple. (wearn't allowed the Raymond Mays because that came out after 1959)

We stopped at the end of the 2014 season.

The car is now in Finland competing in classic rallying.

[Springsong]

Raymond Mays heads were the D's B's the Aquaplane were good as well. Triple SU's ?

Just about to leave Clacton for the boat, looks like its raining up there as it is on and off here!

Hope tomorrow plays nice with the weather at Snetterton
