Managed to capture Hammond on some rather slow laps, May's laps were far faster, Well done Captain Slow! :thumbs:

This one is not part of top Gear really, but is UNCROPPED, and I'm really proud of it!:D I know it could do with a bit more room to move though :p

Thanks for looking

There was a picture of this side of the car in The Sun a couple of days later with the front door open so only the door could be read. I'd been wondering what the rest of it had said.

Did you know the Top Gear lads would be on that track or did you just turn up being very lucky?

Can't wait until the new series :thumbs:

I knew they were going to be there, left home just after midnight to try and see sme night racing, just as they had their first bash and came out for a bit. saw the Stig start up again after about an hour I think.

Went home for some sleep and went back to find they were off again!!! :shrug: was not really my lucky day! :lol: Hammond went back out though, and I was pleased to get some shots! He's cute! :love: Grrrrr:p

Thanks for all the comments! much appreciated as I'm pretty new to this.

Nice shots!!! was there more than one collision with the top gear team? Maybe I should have said that the red BMW was rumoured to be ONE of the cars they collided with! :lol: (I did say rumoured??? :suspect: :D :D :D)

May was born in Bristol so there's obviously some joke related to his nationality coming up!

Nice shots there - and I agree with the comment on the last one, it's always nice to get the whole car in shot like that whilst panning :)
