Classic Adelaide 2008

Macclesfield, SS24, went pretty well, despite the long delay due to a Sunbeam Tiger upending itself in somebody's paddock on a previous stage. A Ferrari hit a tree following that. Our stage didn't go without incident either, the Sportsmed Porsche looking a bit worse for wear after spinning out and landing in a ditch. Another Porsche broke a driveshaft and the previously mentioned Perana stopped on the stage and didn't continue. The day ended later with an E-type rolling. And Sunday was no better. The fastest car on our stage was the Wearing Perana Capri, the car that actually won the Classic 1948-71 section overall. 3rd in that class was Peter and Sari Ullrich in the Jensen CV8, congratulations to you both. But what happened, Ian and Tim? Both rubbed out at post event scrutineering. Yet another Lawson Alfa. This one the 1938 Mille Miglia, Andrew driving. Nice Z in the background Jane. Pick the Mk.7.

Purvis at take off.

Andre and Chris about to do their stuff.

And here's a photo of the Ullrich Jensen just because I like it.

There might be an opportunity for another driving school over there, John!
That Jensen looks seriously mean, doesn't it?

Sure does, and goes OK too.
