A few of mine- Colin.

So much for taking a wee trip to lanark to see them off...we ended up at the Charnock services!!!! What an amazing day, couldnt believe the crowds on the bridges. Have loads of pics, I was the nutter hanging out the window of the type R snapping away incase anybody was wondering! will post them up later Colin.

Wondered who thatwas waving! That mini was flying too! Andy was driving the quicker AWD car, its a bit of a monster. He won the top speed challenge at lunchtime.

Sorry, I didnt take any paddock shots all day! Full gallery up on site now- http://www.power-images.co.uk/gallerys/200...hatch/24-08-08/

I really need to find a safer hobby! The accidents are getting closer and closer. Pug 306 on the second pace car lap lost his back end and came straight across the gravel and into the tyres just beside me, which then catapulted him into the air passing me at about head height and landing really heavily on the banking. I keep saying this but it was definately the closest one yet!! Got covered in muck out the tyres and hit by various bits of car mainly in the head which is a bit sore! Never had the chance to get a pic as it happened so fast and so close but this is it just after landing, the occupants are still inside and totally unhurt. Col.

I assume the competition number plate is the actual white box that contains the race number??

haha, well I didnt say I would never come back I just said I would never buy a newage of any description! I've just bought a house so finally have somewhere safe to keep a decent car and with working offshore I dont need to worry about MPG too much with the limited miles I do now.

Hey Kev long time no see, the scoobs looking good. How long have you owned it now?? seems to have been around for ever! I do miss the old subaru runs, Quite tempted to find a clean P1 but need to get shot of this Mini first!

mine too, think its a bit out of order.

Must be great getting to wreck some new Scoobs! Found this while having a trawl through youtube- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ1X7ya9LZA...feature=related nutter!

Just watch out for the Evo's and the buggies if they havent been banned again! The driving standards are still pretty high but usually at a lot quicker pace than the driving Miss daisy SIDC events!

Probably better getting an import, get nicer tailights too!

I tried 'racing' a modified Ferrari F40 years ago in my first scoob near Dunkeld on the A9, never seen anything move so quick in my life!! I thought i had selected reverse. Got some pics somewhere will try and find them. Actually spoke to the owner later on when I saw it parked up, was running a factory tuned engine with 850bhp!

All done with vinyls too- Think your a bit nuts about doing this to such a new car but I respect your crazyness.....go for it!

Rog has a new motor, a very special EVO 7 ex-time attack car. Not sure what hes done with the old one! I remember that day at Crail too with you RX-8, mainly as I ended up through the tyre wall in my old wagon...oops! Nice pics everyone!

Stick it on 'S' Dunc, or whatever your canon uses for shutter priority and set the shutter speed to about 200 and start panning.Check how they are coming out then work your way down to a slower speed until they come out crap then turn it back up again! hows that for a professional explanation If you can get great panning shots at 100th/sec your doing bloody well! ISO 800 on a bright day? no wonder they didnt come out! I have my ISO on auto the whole time trackside.

So do the people that own the cars in the pics! Our pictures end up in all sorts of places on the net but they cant crop out the watermark whens it right across the pic. Normally at the big events we dont get many orders but have been run off our feet after the weekend, 10 teams have ordered various pics so far

I was looking at buying a hawkeye STI a few weeks ago but had a wee think about it first, between paying over £400 a year to tax it (which will prob increase again) and having to put fuel in it at £1.20+ a litre its just not worth it. I will be buying another performance car at some point as my Cooper S isnt exactly a rocket ship! but I will be taking a lot of other things that I never used to into consideration before I buy. Whats even worse is I work on quite a small oil and Gas rig and its pulling in £10million a day profit!!

Had a lazy afternoon so mssed about with some pics- Col.

Thats a cracker

Is that Mr Spooks drinking some red bull when he should be taking pics of the biggest accident of the day??! I didnt know Nikon made mobile phones!- Flying Skyline- Col.

Fencing the animals in!

Spooks, The only reason I havent put that pic up is because Iain has it and he hasnt sent me it yet! It will appear! Was good to catch up with you and Rosie, you even managed to get her to take pics of Half naked women although I heard you nearly wet yourself while she was away

A few action shots from today, quite pleased considering I had less than 2 hours sleep and the hangover from hell ! Col.

Rory Butcher is driving the scoob, only 20 year old and has no fear!
