Misc pics of a place I miss?
« on: January 28, 2006, 12:02:14 AM »
Hey All,
Just a little bored going through some old pics. Wow seem's like yesterday 89-91. I bet some of you been there :) I was stationed at Upper Heyford for 3 years. I did go to Avon Strip while I was there.
Enjoy.

I wonder if Avon is the same as 'Shakespeare County Raceway'?
Sam, any comments?
We are planning to take our racing cars to Shakespeare Raceway in late feb for testing..

-4 Celcius is only 25 farenheit.  That's T-shirt weather in Denver!  Of course, it's a dry cold. ;) ;D ;D

The thatched-roof house picture reminds me of that movie "The Wicker Man."

Jim,
 thanks for the link. The thatched roof house is in a town called Great Tew. I visited this place right up the street many time's. Wish I could find the out if the lady is still the owner next dorr to the pub. Had some fun time's. The F-40 is or was Nick Mason's from Floyd at the time. They where having a vintage weekend at Silverstone. Here is a cold morning in England. :)

Paul,
Looks like a 'typical' quaint English village, very pretty.
I have seen Mason at a couple of Ferrari track days, he has a 'real' 250 GTO worth millions and I have seen him thrashing this car on a track!!

It was great seeing him there driving cars like there made to be driven. It was very cool to meet him Even though all I got to say was Hello. I never got that chance the 3 times I have seen Floyd in concert.
 I bet he has such a blast driving the 250.
Ok, now I need to plan a visit over there. I miss it. :)
