...and much else.   A lovely morning reading a magazine until they arrived, then something interesting goes past each minute for an hour and a half.  Alas too much to juggle in the afternoon so didn't get any photos out on the road.  In the morning I just needed to make sure they all went the right way and didn't hit "my" cone.

Fulvia 14 drove up to the cone, waited while the navigator fumbled for the book of instructions and found the page and the map and gave advice, then reversed and gave it another go - hence I was able to get the shot through the window with the string back gloves.

Was interesting how some cars - the Bentley for instance - just took it as one corner in a sweep while others were hand braking and flicking (that Puma was really well driven...) and others making heavy weather of a left and long right and straighten up and too much power and correct and back off etc etc.

Two of the Fulvias in this album.  The blue one was well driven through the woods. They've done it before...

Silver Fulvia at the very end of this set of 90.  Shows how much suspension travel there is...
