The Two Simons: White / Red
File: 2023005-0358
Shelsley Walsh, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 3rd June 2023.
About the photograph.
When I was preparing the photos for uploading to Flickr, sometimes I would pick one, or two, or in rare cases three, photos for uploading. Then I would start writing an article about the subject. (Note: Flickr calls this “description” but I like to think of my written words as articles instead of descriptions.)
I picked those two, the white car (0358) and the red car (0377), and thought of giving them the titles of “The White One” and “The Red One”
But when I was doing research on who the drivers were, what are the cars they drive, by looking up in the programme guide I bought on that day, I noticed by chance, the drivers happen to have the same first name.
So I figure to call this set as The Two Simons. And give each a subtitle based on the colour of their cars.
The Two Simons: White.
In the above photo, file 0358.
This is Simon Baker from Worcester, racing uphill in his Porsche Carrera 197, bearing the number 207.
Note the vehicle registration plate (AKA the number plate) on the front, that says SR51 BKR. The first two letters SR, refer to where the car was registered, it was registered in Dundee, Scotland. The number 51 refer to the year it was registered, which was between September 2001 to February 2002.
