    You should set up a new Group and promote the DVD set here.
    It's free to use and I'd love to see it.
    Good luck and Happy New Year :-))

    Hi Gary,
    Thanks for the comment on the E-type.

    The picture was taken in North Galway outside the Pub that was used in The Film "The Field" with Richard Harris.

    Thanks for your kind words. You can see the whole series as a power point on SVRA site also as a album on my page. I recently donated these to the Museum at Put In Bay. Those were great years to be involved. I was fortunate to attend the races in 58 and 59 due to my Dad and Uncle who were involved in those days. I have more that I will add. Also will be adding pictures of Cumberland gap as well as time trials and gymkhanas as well as rallies from the same time period.

    Hi Gary I like the design of your crash helmet. I found a few info about Nike cars in the book I bought early this year "Formula Ford Race Car - Anatomy and development", I guess you know it. It reads there was the Mk4 in 1968 and Mk6 in 1970. They were called "Bakers" when exported to the US! Kind regards, Romana.

    Hi Gary,
    Well I resisted the temptation to enter the WHT this year, I was too busy there was too much press release to write after FIA GT3, World Series by Renault, F3 Euro Series and French VdeV races of the previous week-end. I did it in 2008 at the wheel of a 1980 Van Diemen (similar to the great Tommy Byrne's!), and I was out-paced by lack of mileage and a little bit because of the damp track. It was not my car, so I definitely didn't want to wreck it. Anyway I would like to comeback next year, and above all to race the FFFestival. I entered the Castle Combe Carnival 12 years ago, so it would complete my CV!
    Congratulations for running such a fantastic car.
    Romana

    Hi Gary, thank you for being my friend on VRL. I look forward to reading about your many adventures, learning a thing or two about cars/racing, and occasionally, hopefully, offering some intelligent feedback – or at least entertainment value! :) BLT

    As an editor/writer, marketing/adverting 'veteran,' I do have a few ideas. Let me check out your site / DVDs and I'll get back to you with some 'well thought out' comments! Merry Xmas to you too! :)

    Hi Gary, I am keen to see some footage of your vintage racing DVD's. I will check your website in a bit. Your St.George's Day Run to Brooklands on May 24 sounds lovely, would like to participate with the Triumph TR 6 but that weekend I am in Rome Italy... Do you organise more runs in that region of the UK? Here a link to some photo's (Brooklands archive) and some I made at this magnificent circuit/museum! See you around!

    hi Marc, nice to hear from you.
    So far I have produced six dvd's ; 'Yesterday's Racers' volumes 1-4 (1 hour each), the Jim Clark Film Festival (90 minutes) and the official motorcycle DVD for Brooklands Museum (80 minutes).
    You can view some little snippets of my productions at Mecanix TV at http://www.mecanix-tv.com/cars/british-cars.html
    There are 5 different items there for you.
    Yes, we are planing more classic car runs this year apart from the St.George's Day Run (www.stgeorgesdayrun.com), we are in the very early stages of planning one for Mid-Summers' Day on the 21st June.
    Please feel free to e-mail me at gary@yesterdaysracers.com for prices and more info on the DVD's.
    all the best, Gary C
