TopFoto - early TT images - boakesey - 08-10-2008
http://www.topfoto.co.uk/gallery/ttraces/default.htm
None of these images are by me - before anyone asks!
I found this site by accident & just thought some of you might be interested in them.
Does anyone know who runs this site, btw?
Winter is drawing in mow. I can tell, 'coz they've been taking the bales down today up on the Mountain section of the course....
Roll on TT2009 I say!

A very nice collection, Boakesey.

Well, that's set me back on my schedule, Boakesey, trawling through fascinating pics!
Found a nice pic of Beryl, though. Thanks for that.

What a truly great set of photos.....
I must go up into my loft yet again to see what else is packed away..
Yes, I bet there are lots of similar pickies just gathering dust and spiders in cupboards, lofts and potting sheds.
Time for their owners to get them all out for us to see..
Bye the way, Hi Jan !!

Just come off the 'phone to Topfoto after a most interesting chat with the wife of.....Mr John Nutting, Sports photographer extraordinaire.
Apparently they have over TWELVE MILLION photos of most sports with a high percentage of motorcycling pictures.
Why not phone them for copies of your favourite stars...
Telephone:- 01732 863939 and mention TTFan !!

Nice selection, Liz, but quite a few of the captions are nonsense!!
For example, one shot is from the RAC TT on the Ards circuit, 6 miles from where I type this . . . . . . . .

I know, Larry - I'd noticed the same thing myself and personally have no connection with the site or contributors.
I just posted the link as I found it interesting to look at some of the very early stuff, from when I was a lass etc..

Not in 1906, surely.

I'm older than I look - or so I've been told.......
