Pictures from the All British Field Meet

[SeaSix]

Not sure where to post this, since there are many marques in these photos. Lot's of Lotus', Triumphs, Mini's, Morgans.

Here are a few photos, and the link to the Photobucket album is below.

Tom, sorry to post a pic of your car without your permission!

Dave (TOC), the black TR6 you saw was probably Tom Sewell, pic below.

And the Photobucket link again:

That must have been quite a show. A really impressive "gathering".

Wasn't Tom's.
I met him at the social gathering the night before, and he was surprised there was another one in the area.

If I could get the software here to accept my photos, I would download some of the meet.
That early Triumph, I have a front-on shot of it.

If I could get the software here to accept my photos,

Easiest/best way is to open an account on Photobucket (or any of the similar web sites) and then put IMG links into your post here. Photobucket takes care of resizing and so on; plus that way it doesn't burn up space on Basil's server. Only downside is that if you delete the photos (or lose your account) on Photobucket, they will "go away" on BCF as well.

To get started, go to https://www.photobucket.com/ and click on "join now". It's pretty painless. Then once you've uploaded the photos you want to share, you can either post a link to the album, or those IMG codes I was talking about. To use an IMG code, open a new window for your Photobucket album just let your mouse pointer hover over the photo thumbnail on the PB page, which should cause a menu to pull-down from the photo. Click in the box labeled "IMG Code" and press Ctrl-C.

Now Alt-Tab to your BCF post and press Ctrl-V. You should see something like [IMG.]http.//i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh260/TR3driver/FergusonTEA20tractorskeleton.jpg[/IMG] appear in your post (I've changed it slightly so the string will show instead of the image).

To see the result, click on "Preview Post".

OK,I've seen these. Where else did you post them?

Thanks for posting the pictures.
BTW,the Lavender car is an original Elite,
not an Elan.

Ok, Don, ya caught me. I posted the link on the 'other' forum as well.

:blush:

Dave, I looked for you, but didn't spot your Jag.

I was surprised I hadn't seen that modded TR4 earlier. There's been some work done on that one. I'm not a big fan of spoilers, but that one fits nicely between the rear wings

I think that TR4 V8 owner lives in Issaquah. I see the car (usually hear it first!) from time to time and had a chance to talk to the owner once. He has done a lot of nice work to that car, if you like that sort of thing. He fabricated a lot of stuff to get the V8 to fit and to improve chassis stiffness.

I was parked in the Jag section.
The photos up of the XK-120's I was looking at through my windscreen.
I was there from 1000-1500, had to go as legs were going, and I had to drive home.

There were three MK2's, I think, the other two being versions of BRG.

I just got uploaded (with a little help) my Avatar, which is a pix of my MK2 as-delivered 14 months ago.

Looking through on-line photos, my car isn't even in the background of any shots!

Got home from Bend on late Fri. and found out I had ballgame tickets. So no trip this year.
As usual it was a warm one.

I like that black TR6. Thanks for posting. Nice job.

It looks better in person. Tom Sewell has a nice car. It has the 6 pack Keihin Carbs as well. I've only spoken with him through emails, but he says they run great, no problems after initial install and calibration.

There were many other nice cars there, so I don't want to overlook all of the other participants. Many more TR3's than I expected, many more Morgan's than expected(but they were celebrating 100 years of Morgan at this meet). Very few TR6's though (I think I counted about 8).
