Marathon memories.

Why not tell us about your car (start with a picture) and say what you have done with it; either restoring or using it over the years. Restoration of particular parts is of special interest. Club members can have their space on in their Personal Album to do this.

My mother kept this picture when she moved . Perhaps it will jog the memories of the competitors that read this forum?

"LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS" Jupiter

Post by Leo Bolter »

. . love it Keith!!

I think there is, somewhere in my collection of photographs . . remember those? . . . the days when a roll of film was used and then there was a wait of a couple of days until you got to see what you'd taken. Anyway in that collection there's a picture of a Jupiter with it's mouth wide open showing a full set of pearly white cardboard fangs.

I have a recollection of there being a poor body being consumed . . . . much like your wonderful action shot!

Hence the reference in the subject title to the "classic" musical stage show (and film) and "Audrey the man eater", you'll no doubt remember the story . . .

One day when my next of kin are going through the large trunk that contains our lifetime collection of carefully un-catalogued and well shuffled photographs, it well may come to the surface . . . for sure, I'm not going to attempt to find it!

Sounds like the Crieff Rally was one to beat all . . . and I hear I'm to get the wished for pictures of the Falkirk Wheel . . . .and taken by a NZer too. Thanks Bunty!

Cheers.
Leo

I never knew Jupiters were prone to eating people?
