Sketching Cars

Silverstone Classic

A few weekends ago my wife & I went to the Silverstone Classic. A weekend calibration of classic racing cars. We had not been there for years that many in fact I did not recognise the place. I've shown a couple of tasters but here are some of the stars of the show for me.

 MK1 Lotus Cortina a very rare car

Triumph GT6

Adrenalin ride for this kid in a Caterham 7 round a figure of 8 track. 15 quid a shot and I turnd it down

line up of 7's

from across the pond a Mustang

the badge on one

like this

An AC Cobra

This was what it was about but I only watched this race

Lotus cortina MKII

Mini Cooper

Mini Marcos. It's a Mini based kit car

Cool hotrod

Drag Raceing

lot's of these on show

and a few of these

more of these, Might have guessed I love Mini's

Last time I saw this was in 1976 racing at Silverstone , fastest car I have ever witnessed going round the track

there were two of these

and one of these RS2000

Lot's of Austin Healys like this Frogey

I'll end with my favorite the Mini and he knew I took the photo as he floored it

Bungee Time

Some more sky's from my visit to Silverstone Classic event

Two people are strapped in the ball at the bottom and the bungee is tensioned

 

Off they go to the Blue yonder 

High in the air

Then back down they come

and bounce around for a while

Taking Part in Skywatch Friday

Scarcrow Family

Corfe Castle

Visited the town of Corfe Castle a while ago and after going round the Castle went for a walk round the town.

 

 The center has this cross which was dominates the market place 

 

 

The cross has this water pump beside  it

which I thought was quite unique

Opposite is the post office

with an hotel next to it

the main street through the town

dominated by the ruined castle

while walking back I spotted another pump

Just like the one in the town cente

after circling round we came up another street

that has the smallest Town Hall building in England

it even has a plaque stating that

  then it was back to the center again. We bought some pasties from the baker in the town center which I have to say were the worst I have ever eaten. It left us thinking not  to use that baker again again

Lucky Jasper

You may ask why is a wasp lucky, well he is lucky I did not squish him like I normally would. He was having some much fun munching on the breadcrumb I left him to fly away.

 

Ps jasper is a name we called wasps when we were young
