    Most years you get those awesome crisp clear mornings with no clouds and sunshine but usually the temp still hovers around the 15-20 degree mark. Last year was the first time in ages that it had rained and you could tell by the amount of under prepared people that it was totally out of the blue.

    Nah, the best part was watching all those concourse style cars tippy toeing through the mud in the car park.

    there was great racing today at winton
    perfect sunny weather
    silly rabbits brother phil had a some what uneventful day in his mini
    he started of like this

    then he met this

    and this

    resulting in this

    the whole thing was started by a couple of cars spinning in oil most probably dumped by this

    in the previous race , the bugatti was towed back to the pits with a hole punched through the bonnet
    by something , probably a piston
    "phil" luckily ,was not hurt and the other mini had rolled over
    silly rabbit, may be able to tell us what happened later
    apart from that it was a fantastic day , my brother in law got me a photographers pass so i could wander any where
    although i got warned about going in to the ladies toilet
    while i was wandering around i saw this lovely corolla



    there where lots of great cars to admire
    i will take some more piccys tomorrow
