The mobile race repair shop guy tigging a handle bar.


A very well equiped mobile shop.

I asked them what they could do, the answer... 'Everything'.

I believe them !


The 1985 Audi Rallyquattro driven by Finnish rally ace Hannu Mikkola.



The 1936 Auto Union Type C V16 is shoved towards me.


It approaches...


It passes...


It stops !


I can't believe it, they're going to start it right in front of me !



Better switch the ignition on first.


Even in neutral the race clutch will have some drag so best hang on!


Blip the throttle...


and turn over


the engine Meister is not happy


get out the priming equipment



Excuse me Sir, please stand back or be incinerated!


Turn over...


It lives !!!


Tweak the throttle until warm


No, no don't do that !



Blast them, they've put the lid on & spoiled my fun.


A quick fiddle to get it on straight.


Ah, there's nothing like putting your hand in the exhaust stream to really feel the life in an engine.

And, of course, for getting your fingers burnt.


The driver makes off, frightened that my drool may land on his polished vehicle.


Thats the trouble with 1930's race machinery, you need a mechanic
& a wee man with a starter to follow you around everywhere.



The Audi R8 Le Mans driven by Perry McCarthy waits in the start lane.


The engine Meister offers the driver some friendly last minute advice...

"Break my engine & I'll see you boiled in oil."


A bit of trouble getting into gear


and then he's off..


The R8 followed by the Quattro



Once again the R8 & Quattro


the Quattro coming...


and going.


The Type C coming


closer...



Once again the R8 & Quattro


the Quattro coming...


and going.


The Type C coming


closer...



He's fair getting his foot down for an old geezer
in a nearly 70 year old car in the wet.

Respect !


Off he goes.

And that's it for Donau Ring 2002 !
