So vintage, so good! I like the colour of this car, it reminds me of a good old the 60's and 70's movies.

I'll drink to that Dave. Great memories Zbigniew- the last time I was at Santa Pod it was in the days of Clive Skilton and Denis Priddle still running a slingshot. I remember Denis Priddle doing the first sub 7 second run on British soil and the crowd went electric- seems positively snail like these days. Thanks for the memory Zbigniew.

Excellent panned shot, good sharpness, amazed you could do it so well at 100 ISO
