Category: Page updates

I’ve just re-published, with very minor editing, the page from my previous Wheelspin website which lists lots of information about the (in)famous large-format book of Brunell photographs by Roy Bacon. Read more here. The cover of my version (1995, reprinted 1996) looks different from the one that Mark Milne has posted here on Facebook, so…

I have just updated the list of sections used for the Cotswold Clouds Trial. I will shortly be: Adding the information for the events from 1996 to 2003. Updating the information about the Grid References. If anyone has any information about the sections used from 1972 to 1981, and from 1992 to 1995, do please…

The second is the rather more lengthy How One became Three page, still in draft, which covers my ongoing research into…

Page updated, to list the documents which are available online.

I’ve just published a new Videos page, including the notes and YouTube links from the videos pages of the old Wheelspin website with a number of more-recently available videos, mostly uploaded by Pete Hart from the Bristol Motor Club archives.
