I envy your job, Peiter. Likewise seeing pics of cars I know from over here shown at European events and vice versa, envious of those with the accounts that make such activity possible. F. Scott Fitzgerald was right...

Loved seeing new shots of the Marcos Manta... great to see it fresh! Thanks for all the photos, too many items to comment on.

Great stuff. :)

this is the car from the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, the very first. Last year it suffered from a small fire in the engine bay, so it was stationary then. This year it ran quietly, there are sound bites on the web that are far more aggressive.
And no, we only shoot images, not sound.
