National Rally photos

Post by JimK »

Just a couple to show you:

First is of RogerRust's wonderful 4-door saloon that won second in concours class in her first ever competition. Marvellous.
Image

Second is a panorama of the main parking area. Not really suitable for displaying on the board as it's too wide, so go see it here:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1158/843 ... 4907_b.jpg

If anybody wants bigger versions of either then just ask. The full-size version of the first is 2000*3000 pixels, and of the panorama is 2000*15000 pixels or so :-)

If you play with the brightness you can just see Jim reflected in the Green paint.

Still no suggestions about the three matchstick people?

hi there

we're just back in switzerland from our journey from south-england...we did 2700 miles with our traveller in 2 weeks...it was great...
to visit the national-meeting was a great experience:
-we met very friendly people
- the traders with their parts for sale was like a paradise for me as a
swiss-moggie-driver
- the weather was after the first week a really happy thing
- the atmosphere on the ground was amazing
- i did like the organisation, there is always a thing for getting much
better as it was (that's life)

we did very enjoy our trip to england (incl. a visit to goodwood and a trip over the race-track, thanks to the race-ground-chief who did like our moggie

best regards to all we (maybe) met at the national from switzerland...felix

you can see some photos on my website:

Philo, great pictures. More people should post their pics so the people who couldn't make it can get a look at some of the vehicles.

Not if you want to keep the composition without a fair bit of creative work - yeah, I tried :D

You could say the composition isn't what it was, but either way that would still make a stunning cover... :D TH

Bootiful - though I'd go for a tad more tyre and wheel, and try to make the hub cap a bit more central - espacially heightwise :D I reckon that's a definite 'matters' cover shot

But with the "minor matters" on the top it might be in the right place :)
