Twin Cam Competing at Chateau Impney 2018 (Photos and Video)

Apologies this is so close to the event (Hence putting in the main forum), but thought it was still worth posting for anyone who didn't know, and doesn't already have plans for the weekend.
As per the title one of the Twin Cams will be competing at this weekends Chateau Impney Hillclimb.
Lots more interesting stuff too including a few more 7s.
I think you may still be able to pick up discounted advance tickets (print at home).

Splendid day at Chateau Impney althuogh the printing off discounted tickets did not work so we paid full price at the gate. Sevens going up the hill were almost the best machines to see and hear. The CI programme devoted a whole page to the Works Austin Racers. For some reason a very large slice of the spectators left at lunchtime, whatever were they going to watch at home or in the pub? Perhaps a television documentary about Longbridge, then again.....

Absolutely brilliant day.
Didn't realise the other twin cam and the sidevalve would be there. All ran during the day, though the second twin cam was a bit temperamental and didn't do the full 'demonstration' run with the other two. I have some photos and videos which I'll upload when I get them all sorted out (I know i didn't do a good job of the video). Still chance to see and hear them again tomorrow.

Excellent day, wonderfully broad compass of compeating cars, the three Works cars plus Bloody Mary and the Issigonis racer on the same stand was lovely to see... think Goodwood before the " beautiful people " and teak garden furniture stands ... thanks to the Spollens for producing such terrific event,we'll be back today for more .

at circa 5' 06".

You can see why the twin cam did not complete its run at 5'26".

Finally sorted my video and photos from last Saturday.
As I said I made few blunders with the video so missed a few, didn't get a good pan of the sidevalve, and the video of bloody mary was a total loss.
As always, click any of the photos to see the full album on Flickr lots more photos of the works cars, as well as most of the other 'pre war' competitors

I had enjoyed seeing myself in your video of Wiscombe on youtube, but didn't realise it was produced by a forumist. I've just had a look through your photos too, lovely!

Thanks Tom, it's been great seeing your cup at Wis the past couple of years. Must say hello in future.
I've got one of you from last year too, though it's not the best...
