British GT Rockingham 2006
I'm a big fan of the setup at Rockingham. Perhaps the economics will never add up, and it will be bulldozed for another housing estates, but we can enjoy it while it lasts.

Le Mans - 2005, 2006 and Le Mans Classic 2006
The Pilgrimage to Le Mans is now an annual events, it seems that the numerous cold drinks consumed had an impact on the number of photos taken. Some of the following were taken on a camera phone...

Nurburgring Trip - Oct 2006
A diesel Volvo is not normally near the top of any list of vehicles you would want to drive on the infamous Derestricted Tollroad in the Eiffel mountains. Having sampled Ring Racing's rental BMW 325i the previous day, the extra torque from the oil burner made up for this pilot's lack of skill and knowledge of the route around the North Loop.
The highlight of the weekend was getting a couple of passenger laps in Matt's VX220 turbo, where 130mph was seen on the clock without much effort.

First Post
You've got to start somewhere....
My plan for this so-called blog is to link to my photo site and add some brief comments on the events shown in them.
My old collection of photos on the Smugmug site have now gorn, and my pictures are now stored in a Picasa web album.
Whilst the Smugmug site looked professional, they did charge $30 per year, whereas these google owned tools are gratis, which for my purposes is ideal.
The link the main photo album page is :- http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/universityofturmoil
