    Did I mention we had a visit from the lovely Pirelli girls:




    Am I correct in observing there are four different makes of Strato's replica in the following photo:



    Even John couldn't resist a tinker:



    "Blah, blah, blah, Lancia Strato's this, blah, blah, blah, Lancia Strato's the other"

    Oh, I nearly forgot to mention we had a visit from the lovely Pirelli girls:



    Mel's car looking very smart with the newly fitted Pirelli P7 Corsa's:



    Ken's car looking smart as usual, I don't know who the chap is in the background but he keeps promising to bring a car along one day!:



    Another cool line up:

    Honestly once those Pirelli girls got on the club stand we couldn't get rid of them:



    Even though I got some stick I noticed everyone else didn't hold back jumping in on the bandwagon, well I suppose John's car is Pirelli sponsored:



    With the Pirelli girls having hobbled all the way over to our club stand the least I could do was to offer one of the girls a ride back to their base, as it turned out a little too spirited a ride for one of the Silverstone Officials who gave chase immediatley afterwards as so perfectly captured by our resident artist Chris jarvis - it was worth it though :

    Soaking up some rays:



    Not much beats a nice car show when the weather is on your side:



    Neil's engine is quite literally a work of art:



    Nothing more to say really, the picture speaks for itself:

    More photos I'm afraid, all for the benefit of those that couldn't make it you understand:



    This tinkering malarkey was catching, nice looking car Struan:



    Even Ken got in on the act:



    Tom's great looking car, I've always loved this colour scheme:

    On a non-club related note, here are a few features which were the highlight of the show for me, what's not to love about a 917:







    Plus a bit of a hero of mine, Valentino Balboni, Lamborghini's famous test driver and yes I admit it I'm a huge Countach fanatic:

    Thanks for sharing the photos - I wasn't able to get to it.

    I think this is the yellow car that did a lap of the track on Sunday?
    Here

    The owner is Andrew ____ ?
    The wheels were the same shade of gold, but if it is the same car, a boot spoiler must have been added.
