Thanks Sean - It was a very pleasing article from my perspective. We almost didn't take any actions shots but as there was a break in the weather and I don't live far from a couple of nice big roundabouts I spent nearly half an hour getting dizzy while the tail wanted to let go. I'd have liked to get some opposite lock shots but trying to co-incide that with Andrew taking his pic would have meant quite a few attempts and possibly some interest from the law! Smiley Anyway the action shots were the cherry on top for me.

Buy the magazine if you have an interest in 131s. I know they can do with the sales... Smiley

Here are a few pics from the day. The sand bag on the tripod is a lesson learnt from experience - A gust of wind could easily topple the light on to pristine paintwork!!  Shocked

Cheers guys - Apologies if I missed anyone out.... Smiley

Yes I was secretly hoping for the front cover but as we got the front cover for an issue of Vintage Scene (sister magazine) it must have been hoping for too much... Smiley

Cheers Seamus.

Who knows but we might recreate the old scene and camaraderie and have a thriving 131 scene in Ireland again. God knows there are enough of them around here! You might even be tempted to join the fold and get another 131!  Grin

Now that the magazine is out of circulation I hope I'm not breaking any copyright rules by posting pics of the article on here for anyone who has not seen it.
