Whilst it's unfortunate that many of my old slides were lost as a result of circumstances beyond my control, there's still thousands that are not.
Today I got me a new scanner that can convert a whole bunch of slides to digital images in one hit. It can also do negatives and since there's even more of them than slides, maybe I can make this thread as long as OldCol's Anniversary job.
Here's a couple of shots of the latest state of the art speedway machinery from a few days back.......
And a few more from various motor racing events. This first one is the start line at Phillip Island.
Before there were Mustangs, the Jaguars dominated Aussie Touring Car racing......

My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.
Sectioned shoebox Fords were relatively common back in the early fifties (in the USA), but to slice a brand new '55 Caddy thru the middle was a major chore.
This one was delivered brand spanking new from the Caddy dealer directly to the Barris Kustom shop..........
Mrs Carp's old Pontiac was pretty much all stock Bonneville.
Another one that for some reason I never got 'round to modifying, wasn't real fast but great handling made for a fun gymkahna car.

From the very last ever Banzai Rodders Tally Ho Show, Butch's FJ in black.
Also, Marke Plumers radical custom FJ......
John Ziegler's customised HJ Ute after it's third rebuild, it was only a two year old car at this time having been first customised when it was brand new.

This old Mk1 Zephyr is just too kool.
Jag engine transplant, FC Holden headlamp rims and Wolsely 24/80 grilles in the fenders, suggest 1960s. The new HJ Holden dates this shot at around '74/5.
Travelled heaps of miles in this old gurl. My good buddy Mike Keeh's '41 Chevy Sedan delivery.
And his stroked 440 Mopar powered deuce..........
I'll never forget the time we were in this and got pulled up by a very angry cop.
Not because it was unroadworthy or we were doin' anything wrong, but because the cop was a cat lover.
The license plate frame reads across the top: "Cats Flattened" and across the bottom: "While You Wait".
