Hi Tina
sorry, not right back to the cars.
I want to say/wright one or two words to your work.
It`s realy a fantastic work. Black and white, a car and a woman, nice round lines.
Big or not that`s not the question, the proportion that`s it !!!!

Hi Carsten
I like the picture of Robin very very much. It was a realy surprise for me to get this. Also in the way you told me you want not to do a copy ( that I have understood realy ).
I`m realy proud of it, for sure.
May be some day I tell you to do an original for me.
To your words to the Concourse:
You are right in every way, it was an great Event with beautifull cars and a lot kind people we have met in Düsseldorf.
We, Anja and myself, were only an Saturday at the Concourse,but how great it was for you and Tina to see this beautiful cars arriving that are you showing with your words and pictures.

Hi Wolfgang

The Bugatti Type 35B and the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza Zagato present on this pic (http://www.classicdriver.com/upload/images/_de/2385/img150.jpg) belong well Nick Mason (Pink Floyd)... not?

 

I some share that its Type 35 B was never used in race, I do not have too many details on his history, do you have read information on top?

Best regards.

 

Sorry my english is not good

I seek to know if it is true that it never took part in a race, in knowing more about its history in fact!

Best regards.

 

Ok Carsten. It was present also at the Festival Of Speed of Goodwood at the end of June, it is his wife who was at the wheel, Annette Mason, see here : http://www.chichesterweb.co.uk/frameset.htm?gfos1.htm~main

@Carsten

If I am available to this period I would be delighted by being able met you, you and Tina. For the moment it is too early to know if that will be possible, we will see well.

I hope that at the time of European Concours your drawings met a sharp success and that that brings the many ones of orders to you.

Best regards

Christophe

 

There's also a book on Mason's racing cars, including the Type 35B. It's called Into The Red and it's written by Nick Mason and Mark Hales. I can recommend this book. It also features a cd with recorded sounds of the cars. It is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately I don't have the book so I can't scan the pages on the 35B for you, but if you ever come across it in a bookstore then, as of now, you're alarmed. I think it's worthwhile to buy it as it describes very clearly what the cars are like to drive.

Cheers,

Roland

EDIT: I do have the cd tracks in MP3 format, so if anyone's interested we might be able to set something up (like file transfer via MSN). Patience is a good thing though, I'm not online on MSN much...
