I know you probably think that this is one of the most photographed 131s around but I cant help seeking out that ideal shot and am constantly on the lookout for a good location - A bit like the shots of Theo's car that the classic car magazine took of his on the lawn of the museum.

I stumbled across this quarry at the peak of a local hill which seemed more or less empty of personnel bar a caretaker in the distance who was more interested in power washing some gigantic earth mover than enforcing a "no cars beyond this point" sign. Still I didnt stay long in case I was buried by a landslide from one of the huge piles of stone!? Cheesy

Theo/Si when you are over for the Oct run we should pop up here and get some really dramatic shots of a trio of 131s!? Wink

From beautiful cars you cannot have enough pictures!!

Isn't it great we enjoy them and have an interest instead of just hanging around?

That's an excellent idea!  Cheesy But a large chunk of this year has already gone so maybe it should be a 2009 calendar?

Reminds me of my younger days. So the center of attraction would stray away from the 131s? But the glitter girls of F1 was not the reason my not miss watching the race.
