Bloody hell. I was thinking about this sort of crash at Castle Combe today when I noticed I was no more than 20ft from the actual circuit and the insane Castle Combe Saloons were passing at up to 150mph. It would only take one car to get lifted up by another and you wouldn't stand a chance.
A640 Review: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canona640/ (£220 in Jessops, £196 in Dixons)
A710 Review: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canona710is/ (£200 in Jessops)
The A710is will have to come from Jessops, but the A640 can be purchased just about anywhere (London Camera Exchange etc)...
£28,000 a car, additional £12,000 for a passenger...and this is a cheap year as it's a relatively simple European route.
Not all the cars are exotic, you always get a few quirky things. I think you just apply and hope for the best if you happen to have enough cash.
What model RS is that? I've gone from a hater to a massive fan (of 911s) in about 4 weeks, can't get enough of them now but still have little idea what is what!
Photographed these recently, correct me if I'm wrong and fill in the blanks please...:)

I have a lot of respect for the guys that still run Novas. A few that turn up at various events at Castle Combe during the year build them in their garage for next to nothing over winter, and then they go and pass 75% of the cars out on circuit with no trouble.
Most are really tidy jobs, sure...
pmsl, I couldn't figure it out for a while but I didn't get as many keepers as usual (100 out of 400, pretty shocking, and even those I've shown here aren't perfect), I was wondering what I did wrong and then just before I read your post I realised I was spent the day at the fastest point of the...

Around Quarry no less. I've seen races where some of the drivers won't go into Quarry that commited, usually after they've seen two or three already go off there in one race mind you.
Found another good gallery...

There have been rumours of discounts for a while now because they are in serious trouble, it seems to be starting...
Nikon D40 Black + AF-S DX 18-55mm Lens - £340
+ JDSLRJ015 discount code = £320, a bit of a bargain, quite frankly.

Forest Green on a Valver is pretty rare, do we have any in the club?
I went to look at one last year, in fact I went ready to buy it as the owner said it was in mint condition, but it was a complete s**tbox.
Apart from that the rarest ones I know of are as follows:
Ph1 172 in Sunflower...
Another vote for the TZ3, been researching a camera for a friend and I went with that one, great bit of kit, compact and fantastic zoom.

Let me know if you book a date, I will try and come down and get some pics.
Different in a good way, I see about 10 different photographers pics after a Combe day and most are very similar to each other, you always find a slightly different angle and/or take your pics at a slightly different time to everybody else which gives a really dynamic look even at a relatively...
