Brooklands - Italian Car Day Sat 29th April

Robin and anyone interested - it was a great day - the weather was good and wall-to-wall beautiful Italian cars (although probably too many Ferraris) and not many Strats. I counted 5 of us and we were scattered throughout the site. I arrived before 10.00 and was shown to the overflow parking on the old Brooklands embankment . I caught up with Ian Gear (our oversease contingent from I of Wight), Richard and partner (Revs) and Paul (GTM Paul), and John Rutter (Rut the Nut). There was one other who I didnt get a chance to speak to - not sure who it was , sorry.

It was the first time I'd been to this event and I enjoyed it - a pleasant change from the classy crowd you get at Goodwood who - to quote a petrol-head neighbour - are a bit "up themselves" - it was more fun and casual !

The missing name is Vince Abbott. Alitalia no 10 - probably the nicest car out there!

Looks like a superb day out, shame it's a bit too far for a day trip for the North West....

Yep, it's a fair old trek. But then, we've got the Yorkshire Run and the Northern Drive-Out weekends up here.....might we see you on one of those, if only to say Hello? ;)

Not ruling anything out Norman! I've got the Beta rebuild on the go at the moment, the Malvern and Newark shows and a new motor to drop into the Stratos this season..... Good job I'm retired now!

I didn't take this pic it was on another Facebook site, first time to Italian day and was impressed, the level of interest was better than most kitcar shows

Some shots I took at Brooklands the other week - sorry, copied images weren't visible, so removing them now. Might get to add them back another way, you never know...

Bah, such a tease... don't seem to have permission to see them :)

(I just see a grey no entry sign for each pic)

That's odd, I just pasted in the images directly. Guess the forum s/w would rather have links :(

I don't even see a grey no entry sign :confused:

Some shots I took at Brooklands the other week, now added so forum is able to display them
