Good pics, nice one of the Porker picking it's wheel up.

I heard that the N24's are street legal if SVA'd? That would be bonkers...

I also heard that Aston are really looking to push their race car production through this car, to privateer sports car racers and the like?

Just right click on the pic to bring up the properties, paste the URL into a new window and change the L.JPG to an O.JPG, that should load the full version.

Yep that sounds about right from my memory, Aston can help with the SVA apparently. I'm sure Evo actually drove one on the road at some point.

I can't remember how many he said had been built so far, but it was well under 100.

One of the older Aston's in that race had been raced by the same guy for 32 years solid, and another was driven to and from every single race he ever drives in, crazy.

Chris Rea was also there racing his Ferrari, it's his favourite circuit apparently, random.

Awsome pics ukaskew. What camera/lens you got out of interest (I'm in the process of getting a proper dSLR). I was there but only with a PAS.

That old V8 had a sexy rear...

Nikon D50 (old school 6mp, discontinued now ), more importantly a Nikon 80-200 2.8 AF-S lens, and that had a Nikon 1.4X Teleconverter bolted on. Still not enough range really (could do with 400mm for most circuits) but ok I guess.

Thanks for that. I will prob get a 300mm after testing a mate's, seems to do the job.
