Got a few sneaky photos at Brooklands - shame about the masses of potholes. Unfortunately these photos make it look like a drained canal or something...

Yes, I don't know what she was doing wandering so close to my car.....

Saw your car, Richard, but couldn't find you! I thought it was a great turnout of cars and by waiting until the rain subsided I had the roof down for the drive home as well.

To be honest Paul, orange just isn't your colour.

Yes, the weather was awful until the hill climb...still pleased I didn't do it as I would definitely have clipped my front spoiler. Parking the car was bad enough,as the levels were all over the place and I was waiting for that scraping noise as the car wedged itself. One of the stewards told me that another XJS had been scuffed in this way - clearly ours are lower than the e-types. Anyway, a good day, albeit I did find Brooklands museum a little random at times - I think it was in part the ad hoc aircraft that did that for me.
