OK to post photos of yourself still, I hope.

Health n safety 1982 stylee :obscene-birdiedoublered:

And there were huge trees through Hall Bends. When I did my first trackday in 2000, Hall Bends looked so different with no trees. In autumn the track was often covered in leaves.

I can't remember what year the house went, probably about the same time as the barn and the tree at Coppice

OK it's not an action pic, but it's a (very cool IMO ) race bike with an also cool IMO) bike racer sitting on it , at a race track.
If I had posted it in a different thread, I might have asked you what the bike is, who the bloke sitting on it is, and what track they are at, but I haven't so I won't :D

(I know the answer to all three questions though, as I suspect one or two others on here might ;) )

Looks like Brands Hatch? No idea who the racer is (although I probably should).

I thought Brands too. At first I thought Paddock but the building, camber etc aren't quite right. It just 'feels' like Brands. :D

(I think I know the rider and bike though :thumbup: ).
