In the diary as I have been approached by the Brooklands Trust to have the B20 on their stand.

Hope we get a good turn-out.

Any more members interested in the track demo on the Mercedes-Benz World test track 12.00 to 12.30 and the test hill event 14.45 - 15.30? So far I have 4 cars for the test track only.

Hi Neil

I would be very interested in the track and hill. Let me know so I can decide car! Do we need crash helmets and are passengers allowed for both??

Thanks

Tim

Tim, you should be able to do both, no crash helmets are required and passengers for both is usually fine, both of you need to attend the drivers briefings and get a wrist band, like the track day. Any idea which car you may bring, then I can check with the organisers.

Neil

Hi Neil,

I'd be interested in doing the MBW test track demo if I'm not too late.  I'll be in the Prisma.

Cheers
Andy

Andy, I will as if you can be added to the list and let you know.

Well, the weather forecast doesnt look too bad so hopefully it will be another good day.

See you there.

Jonathan

It might be a bit chilly only 11C forecasted, bring a coat!

I lived in Aberdeen for 10 years - they'd be breaking out the speedos in those temperatures.

A bit slippery on cold tyres up the hill  ???

Bargain!  Bit small maybe....

Not sure if the LMC have any larger tyre warmers, probably not usually needed for AGM and club events.

Made it up the hill and over the top - and then went home as it had been a long day... (actually wanted to see the FA cup final!).

Anyone got any vid or pics of BDV going up the hill??

Thanks

Tim

Tim, I have both, just need to find time to upload to YouTube etc

Good to see everyone.

Tim, I have a few photos on the hill and track, see attached.

Neil

Thanks everyone for attending yesterday we had another good turn out in the chilly conditions and seven cars on the track and/or test hill, plus two others in the inner display section near the club house. Good to see everyone and have a chat!

Thanks again for making the day a success.
Neil

Thanks for organising it Neil! bit miffed Ade and myself got put in with the 500's, although we were right up with the pace car Ferrari Driven by Phil Ward, it kept slowing down to let the 500's catch up, a somewhat less than rewarding experience, I hope everyone elses laps were better.

Brian, I am sorry you got shifted into the other group that was down to the organisers, not my plan!  May be next year we can have 10 Fulvias in the Lancia parade section.

Tim,

Here's a shot of you at the bottom of the hill with lots of onlooking admirers.

Brilliant pics all, thank god for digital, or would have cost a fortune with 35mm :)

Some really good photo's,thanks to those for sharing them, it makes it worthwhile for us that are some distance away and struggle to get to these events.
Something about the older cars that seem to really fit in at brooklands.

Thanks! Was aware of a few people but didn't realise how many! What threw me was the start marshal throwing his flag across the screen and going 321. Caused some wheel spin at the bottom but managed 2nd before slowing for the top.

Great day!

Tim

no problem Neil, I know it wasn't down to you the organisers obviously didn't realise that "Fay" is a lot quicker than she looks ::)
!0 Fulvias, now that does sound great!

I only managed to get 3 shots, most unusual for me!

Julian Wood and his lovely Flaminia Gt.
Ralph Scott and his very very nice 2000 Coupe,
There's also a shot of the interior of  Dr Stuart Downwards Fulvia 1.3, his ex Bob/vivien Seaney Lime Green Fulvia that had a tremendous shock when it left a pampered home, and then found itself hurtling around race tracks!
Stuart has just replaced the door drop glass with perspex which has saved a lot of weight.
I did take a photo of him with the car, but I managed to cock up the lighting, considering it was with my Nokia N95 which normally takes very good photos, it came as a bit of a surprise ::)
does anyone know who owned the Flavia Sport as I didn't see it come in?

I won't give up the day job....
