Oulton park Gold Cup.
« on: August 26, 2012, 10:57:51 pm »
Had a day out with my son at Oulton today. We had a great time and the weather was fine.  :happy2:
Dont get excited by the pics, my son is a tare arse on his little bike and the paddock was a dangerous place. Spent most of the day trying to keep him going under cars flying around everywhere. all the shots are just point and shoot. Some amazing cars and very competitive racing.  :driver:

Seeing pics of that Lotus Cortina reminded me of my youth watching Jim Clark racing one against a 7-litre Ford Galaxy driven by Dan Gurney. A friend's eldest brother raced a 3.8 Jag in the same Silverstone races (hence how I was there) - Registered for the road and 9 mpg! The smell of Castrol R.........

Yes, I noticed that the 'better' of TC's pics were rather obviously not mindful of TC Junior's whereabouts! Don't let Mrs TC see those pics!

TC Junior is going to look back very fondly at those pics one day. Also, I bet that he becomes a car enthusiast too. Catch them young and it is guaranteed to get into the blood (it did with me).

Oooh! Swoon! I justed spotted the Lola T70 pic  :notworthy: < At least I think it's a Lola (the red one) but it's not the 'breadvan' version as it was known.

Some fantastic shots there even if it they were just taken on the go.

Its a great day out, the Gold Cup. I went about 6 years ago with my Father in law and brother in laws, we stayed for the saturday/sunday camping over including some great drunken banter in the main bar after hours. A great experience, and one that we keep trying to re-arrange year on year but to no avail with the arrival of bambino's.

Some great memories from the weekend that we went though and the noise that some of those old boys make are just amazing

Yes he is a looker for some reason.  :love: 
I find most people look at him, smile then look at me, then glance back down at him followed by a lowering of the eyebrows at the next glance my way.  :laugh:
I have taken a paternity test, and to my own suprise   :chicken: he was confirmed as a Top cat junior.  :jumpmove:
