These picture where taken on the isle of Man, a small island in the Irish sea in between England and Ireland. The island is famous for it's motorrace track. The big isle of Man TT is driven here. The photographer did an excellent job on taking these pictures and allmost got himself killed whe he escaped in the wrong direction from the Riviera's front end with a standing burn-out; I blew a tire after 23 SECONDS!!!!  Erik.

Note: to be honest, he doesn't have an 'all original 73-engine' with all those emission control items on it, but something that can be well compared with a 71-GS engine!

The pictures below were taken on a car show in The Netherlands, Groningen, on april 29, 2001 where he was converting a relatively new tire into a slick and: no, its not permitted in the Netherlands but the public likes it so much that the police leaves us alone for once a month.
