Mallory 25th July

Post by Mary Lindsay »

If anyone out there has any photos of the events at Devil's Elbow on the first lap of the Morgan race before the red flag came out I would be interested to see them and maybe have a copy or two (just for the album)......

Hi Mary there are lots of photos of what happened here:

You need to Select Mallory park, 25th July and the time 1330-1400. I think there are more in the other time slots.


John

PS Hope the car is not too badly broken.

Thanks John, that's quite a comprehensive selection of photographs.

The damage is fairly extensive. We won't know until we take the body off the chassis whether we need a new chassis or not.

It will be a while before we can put her right, certainly no racing for JEK until next season now.

I think poor Kathy's car was quite badly damaged as well.

Mary,
Looking back over some of the older posts, it seems that you are building up quite a portfolio of crashed cars. Maybe someone 'up there' is trying to tell you something?

Worried of Luton.

My last major shunt was in 1981 so I think maybe 29 years without a blemish on my record is reasonable. :wink:

Which other crashed cars in my portfolio are you referring to?

Mary,
I did not mean to imply that you are 'Crash Queen' or a serial accident specialist, I merely wanted to see if you still had that spirit we all love so much on this site. Happily it seems you are as fiesty as ever - it' good to know.

I do hope that while your Bulldog is Hors de combat, that we will still see you at Silverstone next weekend?

Yours as ever,

Bob

on a more positive note I can report that the yellow peril is "de combat" and ready to roll :-)

Bob, my spirits are in good shape, in contrast to my poor car which is less so.
I probably won't be at Silverstone as we have to prepare the 2CV for her annual outing which is 21st - 22nd August.
I hope you all have a great time.

Does anyone have any good paddock or racing photographs which I could use in a report for Miscellany?

Hi Mary,

I have some photos of the accident as I was at the Devils Elbow when it happened, if you give me your email address I'll send you them.
