I did notice he was carrying a white stick when he he got in his car .Some hood scoops are just bloody horrible. The one on that 77/78 T/A is awful. He probably loves it tho.

Unfortunately not . There seemed to be no public access to the paddock / assembly area so couldn`t get to chat with drivers . A pity as it would have good to catch up with Nic and Dan of Williams Brothers Speed Shop who were running their 55 Chevy . They did my new carb set up
and tuning on my C3 .

No, that's my daily scruffy home. The summer retreat is much more impressive.Is that your country retreat in the background ?

My weekend retreat could do with a lick of paint too . I really should have got my estate maintainance staff on the job before I threw this little garden party for a few friends !

Old polaroid of C3 enjoying the snow.

Probably taken when it was just a old car, not thought of anything more than an ole vette.
Great to see old picture like that. Back in the day, cameras were expensive, and cumbersome and developing more so, especially polaroid films, as they self developed and the picture on the polaroid was very small. I remember when I first got one, I think the film had twelve shots on it. I used that in about 3 minutes. All rubbish shots of nothing much.
Today everyone has a camera on them by way of the phone. If I had one back then I would have some fantastic shots of cars through the years.

I remember my first camera - just a simple "click and wind" slimline camera. I think at most it did 24 shots, but that was when I was a teenager. Like you said, with modern digital cameras and phones, I would have taken so many more photos. But the problem is, do we really go back and look at all our masses of digital photos much? But with the old film photos, because there was hardly any (expense etc), then you cherish them more.

What I do, is get my digital pictures printed in “normal prints” not all of them, I pick out the ones which I would like to keep hard copies of.
Got that app from free prints that gives you 30 free a month, all you pay is for the postage which is very reasonable. If you want more than 30 a month printed you pay for the additional ones. Again a very reasonable charge.

Is it cheap because they sell your photos that you upload to their system? Always something shady going on. Looks cool though.
