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.

What was your favourite car related moment of the year henk?

Anthony Davidson's pass on Mcnish for the lead at the 1000 km of Silverstone comes very close. (Especially as I was watching it from inside the Audi box...)
Surtees' return after the tragedy form last year also scores very high.
And Lady Moss' confession that before driving up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Sir Stirling (following his elevator mishap) made only one small trip around the block, in Susy's Smart
