Left to right:

Dave, John, Mike, Andy, Nathalie, Marc. You can see my car on the left and I think it is Alex's Testa on the right, with Andy's CS side on. The others are sadly hidden! cheek of it.

 

you dont need my address as i aint in the bloody paper

 

They were more interested in the V8 cars!! ofcourse!!

 

well i have to agree on that point but to be a proper photographer you practice on the small ones first then you get to the big ones

 

You what they say...........Men with big cars (engines) try to compare their small.................

A 4cyl Ferrari would be great enough for me!!

 

All the girls know that

12 cylinders = 12 inches
8 cylinders = 8 inches
4 cylinders = 4 inches

see if you can work that out

 

Steve there has to be a mathematical equation there? can"t
be that simple,can it???

 

sorry dave missed impotant bit out

 

Thats Me taken care of then!!

 

Had a call this evening from Badger (chap we met in Fort William who has a 328 and joined us for part of the rallye). He has a copy of the Highland newspaper which we also featured in, on the afternoon of the display in FW. I will post the article when I get it.

I think he is planning to venture in to f-chat, so HI BADGER!

 

hi badger

 

I am off to Marrakech tomorrow so no hedgy posts for a couple of weeks. Have a nice fortnight everyone.

 

Hi everybody,

I've been in the bush till now ;-) (small village without a correct Internet link), so you had to wait for my pictures ...

Our back travel has been quite fast (thanks to Andy & Nathalie for road freeing ;-).

As already said : Marc, you have done a wonderful job ! Many thanks to you and Mike.

Hoping you are all fine.

CU soon

Alex

Cheers Mike

Changed my avatar accordingly.

 

Glad you are all home safe and sound. I have just had two wonderful weeks with Zoe in Marrakech - will post pics later...need to sort through - in true Mike style, I have over 1,000!!!!! I fell in love with his camera and got a similar one for the trip, so although they won't be qute up to Codex standards, there are some good pics (must be right, it's a numbers game!)

Cheers

Marc

Where are the rest of the swiss guys pics - I thought they had taken more than Mike

What make & model of camera do you and Mike now have ? Did you buy it duty free ? If so what do you think you saved ?

Cheers

Kevan

 

I got a Nikon D50 with an 18-55 lens and a 70-300 telephoto lens, tripod, bags etc..am so impressed at it's flexibility I cannot stop click clicking...some of the night shots in the desert and close up sunrise type shots I could never have achieved with my little dimage jobby.

Mike has the D70s which is very similar with a few more features that a pro might use, and is slightly more cash. Did not buy it duty free as I wanted to guarantee that I could get it with all the accesories prior to the holiday, but screwed a good deal at Jessops, so over all did not lose out (they had the base camera for £30 less than I paid, but not all the accessories, many of which I got thrown in).

Let me know if you are interested and I will forward you the detailed research I did and Mike did on my behalf, comparing the two and looking at price comps.

 

This is pretty much it, but they will move on price, and also accessories - memory, tripod, rucksack, camera case, cleaning kit, etc
