Brooklands Today ( photo heavy )

[john 215]

Hi,

Lovely day down here in the south east so dove down to Brooklands for there New Days Car Show, first what a great venue, ouzes history both car and aero, with great muesum's dedicated to both, loads of cars, in fact tucked into just about every available place !

Not everyday you get into traffic jam like this -




Cars on the banking -




A few of the numerous car's there -





















































A couple for my learned friend Roy -




















And some more cars that caught my eye -






































These brakes -





Belong to this plane [8D]







Back to the car's




And a nice Sunbeam


























Oh and mine -




Got loads more but camera is being a ar53 [:(!]

Well worth the visit and the best way to start the new year IMHO

Cheers John.
