They work fine here, Barry -
two thumnails as links to pics at Imageshack.
What do you see?
Or do you have a problem with the content?!

Hmm... thanks. I'll investigate.
What systems and browsers are you on?

I've edited those, but now I see underscored urls rather than thumbnails.

Do they work for you?
They are each around 600 or 700 KB - a famous early 70s Grand prix car.

Thanks Stuart -

I've deleted them from above; although not massive, they'd be too big for some folk and slow the thread down.
I've had trouble getting the thumbnails up in the past and settled for the hyperlinks.
The annoying thing is that here in "OSX-Safariland" it all works perfectly!

I'll do as you suggest... and hope to God someone thinks they were worth the effort!

Finally, my two troublesome Brabham pics.

From memory Andrew, the car looked authentically as it did in '71 - so no, the onscreen colours seen here are not right.
(But then, they've been scanned from cheap enprints, converted to cmyk on a previous system and monitor, tweaked for separated out-put, resaved as jpegs, hue contrast and sharpness tweaked again, converted back to rgb...

I don't mind at all Andrew - I've been a bit too busy to sort them out properly myself; having found the prints I just dug out the old scans, which clearly didn't suit this purpose so well. I recall Ean Pugh having the car in entirely the correct colours.

There was a time when it was not uncommon to share the circuit with such machinery on an enthusiasts' trackday - rather less likely now. Having dug out the negatives, I think I have the venue wrong... I believe both shots were taken at Pau-Arnos.

Terrific! Welcome to TNF Cargo...

DCN

Looks far more like journalist Michael Bowler, of 'Motor' magazine...

DCN

Pic was taken 35-37 years ago, Michael's distinctive eyebrows and jawline appear to be there - he was a young man - and compared to me he was SLIM...

DCN

The Ian Walker car is a spaceframe Lotus 22 - not the following year's monocoque Type 27. Lovely nostalgic photo, though. It's so nice to see cars in open paddocks instead of being caged in soulless, characterless lock-ups.

My first attempt at posting to this thread. If this works, there are more. From Long Beach 1983....

Lauda getting a ride

What an amazing thread - too bad you can't get photos like that these days. I particularly liked Warrens shot of Jody (I've taken the liberty of adjusting the colour slightly)...

Incidentally, if anybody wants to colour correct their images the best way to do it is with the 'adjust Levels' feature. Some software has an 'auto levels' feature which can do quite a good job - but for a bit more control you can adjust the red, green and blue channel histograms individually. It will make more sense when you find the option in your photo editing software.

I also really liked racer.demons car details and the shot of the XJ13 (Pedros?) what a beautiful car.

Here's a few of mine - rather recent I'm afraid...



















I better stop now, before the internet fills up.

That's a splendid photo of Lauda in the car. Sharp, perfect dof and exposure. It looks like it could have been taken yesterday instead of 30 years ago.

Look in the background - Ford Capri, Mini moke, MG BGT, Bedford van - definately not Zeltweg

Great shots though - any more?

[B]These photos were given to me by a friend back in the seventies. I think they were converted from transparencies, hence the slightly dodgy quality. The venue is clearly Silverstone, the year 1965? And who is the gent chatting with Graham Hill?

Sorry cant help with that one ,however the chap over Graham left shoulder i a young Sid Taylor.

Prescott paddock, anybody know the date as I would like to know, thanks for any help .

Dwall i would like to know more about this amazing looking car & what is it NAME.Thanks Doug

[QUOTE]Originally posted by dwall
[B]eldougo, the car is Sydney Allard's first dragster . The car was used to promote/introduce dragster racing to the UK, which I presume is its reason to be at the Prescott Hillclimb. The year and date, and also if it ran up the hill I don't know.
Power was supplied by a 354ci Chrysler Hemi, with a front-mounted GMC blower connected by a Potvin drive. This fed back through a Schaeffer clutch to a '39 Ford gearbox. Although not clear in the photos the car featured front disc brakes as these were required by the RAC regulations.
Quite what the BOC thought of it one can only wonder

Thanks dwall....A dragster Amazing .

It looks like the TS14 to me even though it was launched until the next GP in Italy. The radiators and tank filled the underwind area unlike the TS-9b, which was rather uncluttered in the area above the gearbox. :\ However i have been known to make mistakes.

Thanks ROB welldone like the last PIC 3 . It's is my screen saver for this week.

Hell yes that is Don 's head just above the (Goodyear) stormstick,the dude standing in the pits is some guy from Goodyear ( I think)..........????.At Zolder the pit stepped down.

They are sitting in the Shadow motor home and that is Elio younger brother in the middle.

. That sure is it was at Zolder 1979 iam standing just behind Hector (they were talk about spring rates).

fausto..... was correct John Barnard design the Rebaque F.1 car?

Allen ,I no my memory is not the best ,having been with the team that year we were told it was a Bernard design. John spent time with the Rebaque family and team off and on that season and i believe this to be true. Penske where the builders.And yes it did have a Lotus and Williams look about it.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by h4887

The Shadow team first used these colours at the 1976 German Gp, An Maybe had a shake down at airfield track in Europe before .Or in the time between then and the next GP Austria. $$$ were tight in that team.


Where's this?

And like Alan Brown ,that is the first Pic of seen of Sid (be jesus) Taylor.I have seen on TNF.

The photos below of the Shell Sports Lola have me wondering why would you need to increase the air volume into the radiators on this model LOLA in the UK, we had no problem with overheating her in Australia ,surley you would be taping them up to get it up to tempature.
And he has extra ducting into the cockpit amazing.Or was it a 70's areo package(as they call today) to create midcar downforce.

All of the Jackie Epstein ShellSPORT Lolas (3) received the same treatment not long after they had been delivered. Never understood why and it rather ruined the initial paint and sign-writing job in my view.


Thanks for the reply.MCS.......They went to a lot of trouble for some reason!

No need to appologise OWAIN.....like the saying a picture tells a story . all pics a welcome here on TNF.
