I find it relaxing and it reminds me of where I want to be (on the water)

The shortcut icons also fit on well without detracting from the image.

Does anyone know any Austin-Healey 3000 enthusiasts :

I have a handbook for an Austin-Healey 3000 Mk 111.

It is a slim hardback covered in leatherette (probably) and is in virtually as new condition.

I am not looking for any money for it but I would like it to find a good home, preferably an Austin-Healey owner, rather than someone who might just punt it on e-bay.

Agreed.

It is just slightly unfortunate that we had this topic in February, whcih might be affecting the number of entries or maybe everyone is away on their summer hols

For quality of service, speed of service, peace of mind and of course price, it has to be SRS.

Just give Chris a call.

I thought that it had slipped to November but I cannot remember the source of that rumour.

I tried a crop on No. 3.

The front end has teeth and can bite (not usual) and the back end has very powerful legs and can kick (more usual)

Hi Martin,

I do not know anything about the horse racing world, although I have ridden horses before sailing took over.

It was a corporate hospitality invite and I had the naive idea that it would be possible to photograph the racing. In reality it was not possible to get a clear view of the horses running without thousands of people being in the way. By moving up into one of the stands you are then too far away. Most people actually watch the racing on one of the giant screens.

So I decided to settle for photographing some of the horses + 'handlers' + owners etc. whilst they were in the Parade Ring before the start.

As you can see, I did get a reaction, but this was probably due to people finding a DA* 300 pointing at them, rather than the average, innocent looking p & s camera.
