jdgm Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi folks I went to the 'Wings and Wheels' air and motor show day here in the U.K., last Sunday in August. Here are some of the best pictures I took - not necessarily the best cars or planes but... take a look at these babies! Brutally efficient-looking gull-wing Merc; Lovely Jaguar, think it's a D-type but not the original metal body; Lola T-70, what a machine...and check the Hoosier tyres on the adjacent one; The legendary Ford GT40, one of 5 and that blue is the color! Those are production Aston Martins behind. A real AC Cobra, absolutely genuine, spanking and still a supreme sports car; A few aircraft...only a few as they wouldn't keep still! 'The Few', in fact to us in the U.K. The Battle of Britain flight; I got a shaky hand-held 8-min home movie (it's all Panasonic Lumix) of the Avro Vulcan which I won't upload and a few minutes of a terrific formation display by a Spitfire and a Mustang. This was a highlight, what flying! They were really 'on it', so much so that I just stopped filming to watch and took a couple of stills as they landed. There was an awful lot more too. A great day out. And this is 'Ferocious Frankie'; Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight959 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I saw that AC racing at the Le Mans Classic this year along with many Lola's GT40's etc etc. I have PIT lane footage somewhere if you'd like to see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My absolute favorite from this year's US car festival in Komárom, Hungary: http://v8cars.hu/cikkslide.php?cikk=cikk0336&image=v8_00063 It's so evil.
