Brooklands - Italian Car Day Sat 29th April

[Stratos Fear]

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 !

I particularly liked the use of the term "general " Ferrari parking - this was just for the bog standard Ferraris.
