As Rallying was a previous pastime of mine, this was to good an opportunity to miss for some shots. After photographing these classic cars and then stopping off for a bite to eat, we made our way home, only to come across the Rally again by chance. This time they were exiting a stage from parkland in the Aston/Whitchurch area, so out came the camera again for some more shots. The photos of these well maintained cars working hard was only half the story, the sound and the smell from these vehicles really brought back the memories.
