Great shots Trigger, do you write all the names down or do you know them all?
By the way Bullitt Mustang was a highland green 1968 390 GT 4 speed fastback, the one at felixstowe is a Shelby Mustang (gone in sixty seconds) often cloned as real ones cost as much as a house
Camaro has not got an "e" in it.... I'll get my anorak

My spelling is shite I know a lot of the cars but it helps that this event had the program with the models in it, that helped a lot!

I thought you were an automotive genius, you shattered the illusion now

i waz talking to the guy with the lincon continetal , the black lowrider and he bought it last month on e/bay for £5000 ,the red zodiac with the brocken rotor arm waz in my w/shop today i offered him £2000 for it i dont know why he got upset

I followed the Lincoin all the way back home, Along Nacton road and he turned off up towards Queenway, It did look the part, £5000 sounds like a pretty decent price, Not sure if you could use it as a daily though!
