No problem with my car Charles.
After all, it seems there are a fair few pics of it up already from last weekend.

I too have the closeup pics of the front of all our cars (took at the ring hotel if you recall).
I can post these to the gallery as Phil requested, or if people prefer direct to each of you.

Cheers,
John.

I'm not bothered about my plate on display. I think if we really were we should cover then whilst on the track.

Charles could you email the pics to gallery@rs246.com - If you want to reduce the size, we post pics at 1024 x 768. A useful tool to do this is the MS Picture Resizer - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/down ... rtoys.mspx

John, it looks like it's all too late anyway... :wink:

A mate of mine here at the Commission had someone asking him who owned the Esprit, so he told him my name. Anyway, I've just got an email from him asking me how I enjoyed the ring and a link to a pic of my car on "Oliver's Ring Site"! Apparently he was there on the same day and recognised my car!

Here's the links:

I've spotted a couple of others so far...

Phil,

I'll get 'em on their way shortly! Do you also post video at all, as I've got a couple of "in-car" vids as well... They're crap quality, as they were just off my crap digital camera, but you get the general idea... :wink:

Chas
Cheers,

It's a real shame... I can't see *any* other of our cars there... Just mine and John's... :thumbsdown: Anyone got sharper eyes?

Mind you, there were as many R32's as RS4's............. :wink:

Guys, have a look at this site http://www.marc-duez.be/

Click on the 'News' at the bottom.
There are other pics of our cars. So far I've seen silver RS with black wheels,
Taipan's car, and a few others.
I recall this guy stood taking pictures of me at the hairpin, but haven't seen
any of them yet. I wonder if this was the same guy who was selling the pics
at the track ?

Anyways, have a look ,see what you can find :thumbs:

Pics of John's RS4, Tim's CSL, Gordy's RS, Feed-Me's RS, can't find any of mine though :(
Quote from website: "autres photos disponibles sur demande (other available photos on asks)" :D

:boohoo:

I wonder what response you might get if you mailed him with your car details (i.e. red group, blue rhd R32, reg blah blah blah)

I do think this is the same guy who had the stand there selling photos. Why else would he include a picture of the photo trailer :wink:
