"Look at the reflection off Nismo's head"

Ian I hope you got the aftersun out after that sunshine reflecting off your patch mate

Those pair of bulges by my bonnet will never be seen in the same light again!

... and me beer in hand after discovering that the back of my car is going to fall off.....

You do, seem to be elsewhere Tim
I'll start that thread shortly

Ive been hanging out of the boot yesterday and whilst doing so dealt with the small bit i had on the inside o/s;.will have a look at the outside when my trolley jack arrives later.

Well it seems my car made it into a photo


And I was right, one of the Cheeky Girls was there


All nabbed from this site http://www.demotix.com/news/2108968/tribute-rally-uk-late-sergio-pininfarina

slideshow (sorry, my finger must have got stuck on the shutter release when the Sergio was unveiled ) (and all the rotated ones are at the end )

Dave,

What a great collection for the day! I really enjoyed looking through them.

That must of been the slowest unveiling ever.

Brilliant pictures, thanks

The organisers say that they'd like to use my photos to build up a portfolio of cars that were present for pininfarina. Should I be trying to make sure I get acknowledged somehow, should I watermark the hi-res photos I send them? Any other suggestions regarding the use of photos by others?

That's very good DaveG.

I just received an email from Alma Suter? Tribute Rally, part of it I have copied below?


"We are at present working out the accounts for the event and would really appreciate your help as we are unable to trace all the payments made for the registration fees. We kindly ask you to send us a copy of your bank transfers or details of your payments."

????

Darren, I can provide an email address and copy of the email from one of the organisers stating that our entries were free invitations if needed

Thanks T, but I'll just ignore it.
I just thought it a bit odd and if it was actually genuine, asking for bank details etc

Yes, probably best to ignore it and it does sound a bit odd. Strange how they've got your email address too?

We had to send a picture of our cars to prove we were there! Bit shambolic to be honest! in order to receive the record certificate. (180 cars a record???)
I did get a reply to that, part of which read 'thanks John!' Mmmmm?

Does all seem a bit messed up

Very strange John. Sorry, Darren

A good day out, but when Ross was greeted on our arrival by a lady (sic) who was most certainly not on her first glass (or bottle) of champagne at 10.45 the eyebrows were raised.... bunk-up, organisation and brothel spring to mind to form a useful phrase.

One of the polo ponies gave us the best moment of the day when he/she ditched the rider into a goalpost and galloped off.

The rider was a 'he' an American I believe. I was walking back across the 'goal mouth' with food. (Mmm) and my wife shouted something. I turned to see her running away and turned to the other direction to see death staring me in the face.
There was a horse bolting towards me after dumping the jockey. Having payed £5 for an egg wrapped in bread I didn't know which was worth more. Food or my life. Anyway the horse ended up galloping back to its stable thing. My wife doesn't know I don't have any life insurance.



Nb. Staring death in the face was the horses name
