They sure do make a racket, I actually damaged my ears the 1st time we fired the car up, no harm done it saved me from Joining the Police!

Excellent pics Eirca, some are more familair to us than others, obviously, but nonetheless always good to have some images to support the discussions.
Off topic briefly, i'm interested in the Macau shots (head on of the grid) in '84 and '85. The one with Corollas following the the Volvo's and Starions off. This shot shows a couple of Capris (decribed in Autosport at the time as of 'dubious vintage'!!). One of them is clearly red and has what appears to be a 3 word windscreen visor/sticker. I'm wondering if it's an old Gordon Spice Car? Maybe i'll copy this post into the CC Capri thread. |

I need to speed up on the internet, cant edit posts!! agh well its getting my post count up.
On my way from Ireland to Australia I went to Hong Kong & Macau, the track it beautiful, pity I was there a week after the racing! The museum had some beautiful machinery, pics of which I have recently lost after beer somehow spilt all over my laptop. There was no information what so-ever to be attained at the museum as the security staff knew nothing about the cars & there was no guide there???? crazy. I did manage to salvage a few pics of this ae86, but the info seems a little odd. Last edited by Eircamae86; 6 Jan 2009 at 12:51. |

Some great stuff here- the Japanese and Macau Corollas have always been a bit of a mystery to me as we didn't hear much about them in the UK- I have got a model kit (Fujimi 1/25 scale- fairly crude as it seems to be designed to take a motor) of the Object T/Trampio car- seem to remember there being a pair of these with different versions of the striped livery- one blue, the other green

This may not be a GPA rally car? but it is worth a look, Im also a ST165 pervious owner & enthusiast, moved up to a ST185RC to see what all the fuss was about, will own a 165 again one day.

Now they're quite a find- the white #77 car, of course is Geoff Kimber-Smith's car in 1988 'Fotofanatics' colours, but that green Hodgetts car is very interesting....AFAIK, the only other pics I've seen of a green CHMS car are at the '88 TT, with 'Mezzanine' backing...
http://tentenths.com/forum/attachmen...5&d=1218705303 .....so I guess this is the same year. That 'Willis Faber' sponsorship doesn't ring any bells and I can't quite make out the drivers' name on the door- There's what looks like a 'Central BMW' sunstrip on the screen, and the location looks as if it might be Birmingham. Weren't 'Central BMW' associated with Nick Whale? I won't swear to it, but I think he did Birmingham '88 in a Hodgetts Corolla? |

Yes, definitely the Wholesale/Livestock Market area in Birmingham which was used as the support race paddock.
Nick Whale's name is on the door of that green Corolla too by looks of it? I took a few shots at the B'ham meetings and posted some in other threads (eg Chatfields ex Bastos Rover leaving that Paddock area in 1987). I'm sure I had one of Mike O Brien's Commodore but have never found it!! |
