Events

Just  a teaser for now as I have around 4-500 photos to process and I couldn’t bring them all with me on one day as I ran over my USB Flashdrives a while ago…

Pre-65 Ford Mustang Fastback

Hampton Downs – Drift

February 12, 2010

During my morning troll of the blog sites (on the right) I came across a post on GS that then lead me to a blog by a photographer chap named Matt Malcolm.   Who had some sweet shots of the day (with more to come evidently).  I’ll pinch a couple of the more retro machines (shhh, don’t tell him) and you can scope the rest on his own blog;

Slideways Much? A much too much!

Broken Down cars are the Pits.

Awesome.  I think this year is going to be a damned decent one in terms of photography of events, the Hampton Downs track seems to come to the party, hard.

As is usual for the larger “modern” racing events, the cars that come to watch are of more interest to me that those Australian Taxi’s lapping the circuit.   However this year was a little shy on numbers, I’m hoping that will be remedied by an excessive turnout for the Classic Speed Festival later this month.  Here’s a few that I decided to stop and snap;

FOR SALE

Parked up on the corner of the turn-off to Teretonga Park was this sweet Falcon Wagon.  If I had the cash, I probably would have bought it as long as it wasn’t over-priced.

Another favourite car of mine from around town happened to be attending also, I took advantage of this by snapping a few quick shots;

UP: Classic Jap Meet 2010

Right… here all those Japmeat photos are, then: flickr album

Kumeu pics will follow in a day or two once I get around to sorting and uploading those. It never ends!

What sort of insane masochist would own a DR30 anyway?

Yeah yeah, I know what you guys been thinking the last few weeks: “Where the hell the Jap meet and Kumeu photos at?”

Michael actually hit me up about ‘em the other day, and my excuse was that they were on another memory card which I didn’t currently have access to at the time.

well fret no longer – I have now acquired said memory card, and will start going through the photos tonight. Expect to see ‘em on the RC (or my own personal) flickr in a day or two.

Thatsun!
