This afternoon I came across some photos taken by a friend of mine. This one was taken from the passenger seat of my car as we headed up a mountain road in Scotland. Yes I confess I'm just trying to start another car/scenery photo thread, do we real need a good excuse?!

Hope you like it.

Are you guys refereing to Ken's cows, or my smashed rear screen !?

I accidentally dropped it whilst trying to remove it from the car, I really shouldn't have tried to do that job single handed !

It seemed funny at the time so I took a picture of it, can't say the bill for the replacement screen was at all amusing !

Yeah, I was talking about your avatar. I thought perhaps someone broke into your car or a person vandalized it.

Anyway heres a few more pics, none taken by me.

Vanity pic (or spot the rust)

Nice pics, those are some thin roads there. Great motion shot, I need to get some of those of my car.
The only one I have is my avatar.

"National Road" Rally 2002 in Western Maryland mountains. Perfect all original 86 951 entered by SCCA veteran Herm Melotti and his grandson chase my 85.5 NA with my brother Scott driving and my son Nick allegedly navigating while hanging out the window with a disposable camera.

These two teams finished somewhere around last and next to last, but photo evidence suggests it was on purpose

My old car (on the left) and pearldrum's car on the right, after a wonderful afternoon of spirited driving through some Kentucky back roads.

I think I'm suffering from SAD ! Roll on next summer.

Anyway another borrowed image from a meet I was on, sadly I didn't manage to get a P-ride in this car (Seriously quick Caterham Superlight) but it just sums up summer motoring nice'ly.



I suppose winter can have its moments too.
