Sorry about the break in service on Friday and yesterday, to
make it up to you we have a link log for some very cool things that should keep
you more than amused for a good few hours.
First up we have one of the internet’s most precious things,
an awesome forum thread. This one comes
from the Atlas F1 Bulletin Board, as I type this thread is 24 pages long and
contains a shed load of images of club level British motorsport, this is the life’s
blood of motorsport in the UK, sure BTCC is a big deal and the F1 circus rolls
into town once a year, but these guys are out there every weekend doing this
stuff somewhere. Check the timeless
photos in this thread : http://forums.autosport.com/showthread.php?threadid=99466
So let’s bring our motorsports photos up to date and off
into Europe. We found this a little
while ago and I've been trying to decide how best to blog it, so good is it
that I believe it deserved it's own blog entry.
However I need to make up for two missed entries, so I'm going to share
this without further procrastination.
Octane 100 : http://www.100octane.de/ is a German website for
Bergrennen, DTM and other such events.
It's core brilliance, if you don't speak much German, is the
"Fotos" section, there are truly an epic amount of photographs on
this site and it would take you a number of hours just to see all the
thumbnails, let along having properly browsed the galleries. I suggest you bookmark it and gradually work
your way through it.
Lets move away from more photo galleries and check out
another blog, Engine Swap Depot : http://www.engineswapdepot.com/ does exactly
what it says on the tin, it discusses engine swaps. The site is based in America so that is its
primary focus, although I particularly like the way it keeps an eye out for
exotic engines for sale on ebay and other sources. I'm a big fan of this MGB that they highlight
from BritishV8 : http://www.engineswapdepot.com/?p=350
Okay so time for a You Tube clip. Bouncing back to the Bergrennen events and
one of our main loves, Group B rally cars, check out this wonderful in car
footage from a Lancia Delta S4 taking part in a Bergrennen event :
Pending no further disasters we'll be back tomorrow.. you
will no doubt still be working your way through the links.
