Silverstone Classic 2012
Popped up to a crowded Silverstone track today, managed to get a burnt arm 
(just not used to this sun). I've not really had time to go through them or do any PP, so this is just a rushed shot with minimal PP:

Classic looking cars Ken, very appealing on the eye.

Great photos Ken, beautifully captured. Looks like it was a perfect day given the quality of entrants and the weather.
All those are very nice cars, but the silver 250 GT SWB is very special indeed.
Edited to add, a quick google of it's history backs up my suspicions of it's racing pedigree and importance.
Eye watering when you think about it, the cost of buying an old classic such as the 250 you see racing there, will not be too far away from the cost of a current front running F1 car.
That's what makes it so special to see owners still using them as intended.
Cheers,
Tony

Thanks Azz.
Thanks Gaz.
Thanks, they sound good too 
Thanks Tony, thought of you when I popped up there as I know your a bit of a petrol head too. There were so many lovely cars out on track and they really race them hard, you love watching it but you can't help thinking they should be preserved as well
Thanks Richard, even got a sun burnt arm
Thanks Gaz.
