Well, there are lots of things to do in Derbyshire, for instance, find a nice little single track road and bomb around the corners as fast as you can (avoiding ramblers and other oncoming traffic) :
You could also try driving very close to other road users :
Or if you're lucky you could meet up with a group of other iconic 70's sports cars :
But if you're really on top form, you could do all of this and have the pictures published in Classic Cars magazine !
Many thanks to the RSOC for this opportunity to take my car up to Ashbourne yesterday to appear in a photo shoot for Classic Cars magazine comparing five iconic sports cars of the 70's. Present at the day were :
MKII RS2000
Vauxhall Firenza
Hillman Avenger Tiger
Dolomite Sprint
Fiat Mirafiori 131 Sport
The weather was kind to us despite being somewhat threatening in the morning, Kel and I had driven up on the Saturday afternoon and stopped over in a local B&B so, Sunday morning we were up bright and early for a few hours polishing and cleaning before setting off into deepest darkest Dovedale to meet the photographer, journalist and other car owners.
The static shots took forever to set up but were well worth it in the end (particulalrly the one in front of the barn!), then the journalist had a go in each of the cars to make some comparitive notes and finally we did some shots of the cars tearing around corners followed by more shots taken from the back of the tracking car by Lyndon the loony photographer who at one point was laying across the back of his SAAB convertible (with the roof down) with at least half his body clear of the car whilst Kel hung onto him for dear life.
Many thanks to Kel for coming with, helping clean up the car yesterday morning and, more importantly, shadowing the photographer to get loads of great pictures (some of which are above).
The article will be in either the January or February edition of the magazine which will be published at the start of December or January respectivley.
