Hopefully we can raise a number of the local Surrey members to attend if not too hung over!

Jonathan,
Do you mean NOT covered in grit, I'd hate to see your Lovely pride and joy covered in stone chips :o

Yes, I'll be there, it's too near to me not to go.

I will however be without car as it is spending the winter in Devon receiving some much needed tlc!

Does anyone know the time of opening please ??

With luck, the Appia and I will be journeying from Essex, although the forecast rain may well put me off !!!

I'm not sure if I'm going to make it tomorrow as I've had a stinking coldall over Christmas that I'd hoped would clear, but it's very persistent, I'll make it if I can, but if I don't have a good day and I'll be with you in spirit if not in "Fay". :'(
Happy New Year.

We are meeting London to Cape Town competitors and taking pictures before moving on the House of Lords for the official start. i find it a shame members are afraid of using their cars in winter, is it investment values that dictates use instead of driving fun?

Today at Brooklands we counted 12+ of our cars  -  two Aprilias, (Ken's and mine), one Aurelia, two Appias, numerous Fulvias, a Gamma and etc . I missed Ken Cousins but met Will, (who brought his Appia because his Kappa would not start), Alan (the cern), Stuart and others that my wretched memory forbids me to name.

There must have been 300+ cars in attendance and the cafe and numerous coffee bars were doing stout business. The site was fairly crowded and more cars were arriving as I left after about two hours (I have a limited attention span). Lots of interest attracted  by the London-to-Capetown Rally Scrutineering in the old Paddock  -  I particularly liked the 1920s Vauxhall 30-98 with modern Recaro seats.

Luckily the weather was kind (in the morning, rain later) and there was little salt on the road.

It was a great event and Lancia was the best represented Italian marque; I didn't count them but there must have been at least 12.
