Thank you for your kind words of encouragement Baub
As I said, hopefully the subject matter of some of the shots will interest someone...

Viv, you know I am only kidding, you know me that well, as to quality of pictures, it is easy (and fun) to sneer at your converted slides, but they tell a story and I'm sure plenty of viewers are wallowing in nostalgia, and I keep my early efforts under wraps, they are nothing to boast about believe me.

Anyway glad to hear you can get back to work, so stay safe, stay apart, and save the NHS (from having you as a patient)

Of course I realised you were only winding me up (hence the ). To be honest, due to excellent quality of everyone else's pictures it has taken me a while to pluck up the courage to post some of mine, but like you say, they're old pictures and do tell a story and I hope they may be of interest to someone.
I will do as you have instructed and keep my distance. Stay safe everyone

Well I appreciate all of your photographers various efforts with the camera, and as a non-photographer, my interest is mainly in the subject before the technical quality. I am particularly enjoying Viv’s pictures as I find they evoke happy memories of around the time of my attempts at the big time in my mini7 , but really any and all cars are great to see.
So thanks to all for posting your pictures, and please keep on, they are appreciated.

1977 to 1980. Probably just before your time? Unless you were driving the fire tender I don't think you would have been behind me Any mini racing photos would be very interesting. (to me I hasten to add ).

Nothing from the past as my involvement with Minis was pre-photographic era, but I interviewed a number of local Mini & drivers for the Radio Station.

Dave Banfield (might need memory check) Max Hunter, and Dad Hunter, plus many whose names I have long forgot;

Yes, you're right, I started in '82. I did take an interest in Mini 7's before then for obvious reasons, if I find anything worth posting I'll stick them up once I've scanned them.

Is pic #1 a Scarab 'Offy'?

Asking for a friend.....
Or is it 'just' a Scarab engine as used in F1 ?
If F1 then the link could be F1.....

I would not describe these cars as pretty, but they have 'style'. unlike the previous batch of monstrosities.
