The Cars of BritishV8 2013
I'm putting together a Cars of 2013 article, similar to: The Cars of BritishV8 2012 except new-and-improved.
I have very nice photos of most of the cars, but there are a couple voids. For this particular article, I prefer photos that show cars with their bonnets down. Here's are the cars I'm looking for: 1. Bill Davidson's charcoal gray 1974 MGB GT (V6) 2. Dale Knapke's red 1972 TR6 (turbocharged four-cylinder) 3. Joe Kueper's orange MGB GT (V6) 4. Phil Leonard's green 1992 MG RV8 racecar (V8) 5. Terry Schulte's red 1964 Griffith 200 (V8) I'm also looking for a photo of the ivory MGA (four cylinder), plus names and contact info for the gentlemen who brought it. Did anyone get a nice photo of Doug Brown's Cooper or of Bill Young's Midget? I'll include those cars too if I can find suitable photos. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN! |

Re: The Cars of BritishV8 2013
Several people attended / participated in the meet WITHOUT THEIR CARS, and I want to include their names for the record books (maybe here, maybe in another article.) Can you help me compile a list of these people? Here are the names I have so far:
1) Larry Barnes - Colorado Springs, CO - 1980 MGB 2) Doug Brown - Webster, SD - 1971 MGB 3) Dennis Costello - Central, IA - 1973 TR6 4) Max Fulton (and Emily) - Durham, NC - MGB (multiple) 5) Bill Heath - Southwest, MO - 1973 MGB Who am I missing? (Artie Clark, Richard Woodley, and the Blackwoods participated too... but they borrowed or shared cars for the meet.) Bonus questions: 1) name and contact info for the gentleman with the yellow MGC GT who joined us at Speedway? 2) name and contact info for the gentleman with the Triumph motorcycle who joined us at the racetrack? |

Re: The Cars of BritishV8 2013
My phone camera was set lower pixel to post on this forum for all photos at the meet. So quality not so great!
1 with Dales hood up. Hmmm maybe Brenda was turning my phone rotated to the side when taking these photos...but you get what the photo is. These might be your last resort for there are better camera shots out there from others Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/15/2013 01:44AM by 74ls1tr6. |

Re: The Cars of BritishV8 2013
Thanks Calvin!
--- Joe Kueper brought the other orange MGB GT V6... not to be confused with Jim Ohnsted's car. Here's a snapshot of Joe's GT. I'm hoping to find a better angle. I took lots of photos of Dale's car... but when I got home I realized they're all photos of his engine bay. --- Artie shared a good photo of Bill's GT with me.. Surely someone got a nice photo of the RV8 racecar? The Griffith? |

Re: The Cars of BritishV8 2013
Thanks for this Curtis. Wish I could have been there but have made tentative plans for Colorado in 2014 with my car.
