I don't remember seeing Almond Green with a Black roof recently, but here's a photoshop version, the identities of the innocent have been protected!

I'm rather fed up with almond green and white (goes hiding) so I just thought a black roof could look allright. Now it seems rather cutting edge, as noone apparently has done it before.... 8-)

It has been done before

A company called Vitesse made a model of Pat Moss' 1962 Monte Car, but mistakenly painted it green...

...which has led to the odd replica being built.

Unfortunately I didn't beat the Elan, but he was in a different class. Way too much power on the straight.

We had that too, mind you these days they spray salt :evil: :cry: everywhere.

But in the old days, it was on with the studded tyres, a local racedriver made his own, he was so good at it, that he exported them to the Swedish & Norwegian ice race drivers.

its the same in the Copenhagen Historic GP, in the old days, they had a short straight.

The Mini,s beat most cars back then, even the ones in the bigger class, but with the new long straight, the Yank Tanks get the advantage.

I overtook it into the hairpin as I can brake soo much later. However, after the hairpin it gies uphill, which ment it went downhill for me ;) (Pun intended)
