as a rule Ben you're right, however this sunday is decidely different!
Last year was a supercarfest and even though it clashes with Le man, fathers day and the bromley pageant i suspect it will still be very well attended.

we'll be up there from 9am and Bruce's Atom will indeed be in our enclosure (all being well!)

Hang on, don't take me the wrong way I do like my cars British, old and not necessarily exciting ;)  Actually the Mrs is off to Blenheim palace on Sunday so quite tempted to come along.

Had a drive past as it was only 10mins down the road from me.

Seems someone decided to stick a plymouth Prowler in a ditch at the entrance (how they managed that on a straight bit of road I don't know). Police & ambulance in attendance.

Hmmm, quite tough to do that. Jerk.

It was a good day, all round. Deffo one for the kids/ family. Feels odd, cos you get somewhat blase about walking past (say) the Fezza camp. Just one red Ferrari after another and so they just blur a bit. Similarly, the Lambos. When they're parked one next to another, they all seem a bit samey - obviously a ridiculous observation but it's how I felt, for what it's worth. The Craterhams had a field to their own. Quite liked that; no bugger went near them ;D

The museum itself is interesting, too. I'd go next year and take sprogs with....

Cheers, Hedge

Completely agree... I felt the same way at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago.
