Pictures from Euro-meet and Le Mans

Awesome pictures, Charlie. ¡Muchas gracias!

BTW, took about 8 minutes to download the 250MB file.

I knew I shoulda' gone. I could have worn my pink and purple golf shirts.
I can't get the first zip file to work. It keeps crashing the browser.
Dam. I wanted to see those beach photos too.
Thanks Charlie.

charlie ... wow great pictures .... I wasnt able to go this year ... but next year.. Couldnt squeeze F-1 in Spain and Lemans in the same year.

All I can say is WOW! Great pics of great cars. Thanks, Charlie for getting it done!

WAY TOO COOL, many thanks for the photos.

Charlie, it looks like you had an incredible time and the photos are spectacular. Thanks for posting them (and for including a bunch of GT40s as well)!

Fantastic pictures. I very much enjoyed them. Thank-you for the post. It was particularly enjoyable to see the DeTomasos, Ford GT-40s, Cobra (with the leather helmets) and Ford Capri Mk I RSR.

The Ford Capri Mk 1 built in Köln, Deutschland was the first new car I purchased. It had quite the racing success against BMW 3.0 CSi at the time. When I purchased the car, it was sitting beside a beautiful yellow DeT Pantera in the concessionaires' showroom.

Once again thanks for the pictures and the memories they made me recall.

Charlie,

thanks for sharing the pics. One of my favorites has to be the nuns walking down the side of the road staring at the Panteras. I can just hear them talking......"was it worse to give up sex or poverty?"

Photos, videos, thanks a lot Charlie for the post.

Thanks Charlie,

I thoroughly enjoyed the pics.

Hi all,

Glad you enjoyed. As you can imagine, it was even more fun to be there!! The nun-photo was kind of accidental but tickled my fancy.

These events are really a great time. The next one is probably 2 years away, but give some thought to attending!

Hi Charlie,
No probs we are all busy I guess. I was very lucky to be able to attend both events. I will be at the 24 next year. I arrived for the Classic on the tuesday but on friday nite my car refused to start as we were leaving for the circuit. Anyway to cut a long story short, the coil burnt out so I had no car for the weekend. and on Monday I discovered I could not get one anywhere in France in less than four days, As I was leaving on Tuesday I had to leave the pantera there, and have it recovered, it arrives here in Ireland in a few days.Had a good time all the same, just didnt get to the circuit as much as I wanted to
BTW the link to your pictures has expired, can you repost them?

There are also more than 300 pics from Bjorn Carlsson on the Swedish Club site.

My pix and Bjorns are both on the Swedish site. You can either go to their website, go to the PHOTOS section, or you can set your browser to download the monster zipped file and then go through them yourself.

Titles are pretty self-explanatory. These are monster files - 250MB, 300MB, etc. But if you've got a fast connection you can download the files while you get yourself a beer and have them all.

If you've downloaded my pix, then I would recommend downloading Bjorn's as well. He took some good pictures....

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the photos - almost as good as being there personally (maybe in 08...).

What was the reaction to the Pantera's racing and how did they perform on the day? I guess Patrick's GT4 (2342) must have garnered a lot of attention with its blue orange and yellow livery.

Best,

Ben
