Wow...what a good day...amazing never been to a show like that. Can't believe how many Ferrari's and Lambo's there were there to lust over...Anyone like to guess the total value of all the car's there that day? Saw one old Ferrari worth a cool 450,000!!! ...Sorry I didn't get to talk to many of you - had to leave pretty quick as I had a call from work... Hey Neil nice hanging round with you mate....love the in-car gadgets! Hmm took so many pics of other people's cars.....but didn't get one of my own! Red Le - any snap her?

Here you go Jim, Here are a few more. It was really nice to get to meet a few of you. I felt quite proud to own a Coupe watching the hillclimb in the afternoon.

Blue coupe and his friend? Not sure, could of been me and my Dad.....
But anyway, I went last year, I went this year and im definately going next year!
Great day out for a tenner, sooooo many good cars, lots of nice coupes too!
Good to put some faces to names, met quite a few friendly people from the coupe gang.
I got there at 10, half 10, next time it will be 9am sharp, time went so quickly, would of like to of met a few more coupe owners off the forum.
Got myself a clay bar kit and some dodo wax, with some advice and tips off Phil. Cheers, good man. Ill post some pics up as soon as its all singing and dancing.
Hopefully get some pics or vids up soon of the day.

Hi James, neighbour! I've got to praise your efficiency with those great pics and especially the hill climb vids posted before I'd even got home myself!! Reiterate all the comments about an enjoyable day out, amazing show and will definitely be putting my name down for a hill climb next year, once my squeaking car has been cured Be paying you a visit soon Joe Great convoys down the M4, Joe did you intentionally keep ratcheting up the speed on the way home?!? Not to mention getting lost after leaving Brooklands and losing one at that point! Great to see so many pics, as I'd forgotten my camera. Anyone take any pics of the Ferrari marketing girls though?

Have to confess to being a little uninterested in most things Coupé thus far this year I almost didn't even bother going to Brooklands, it was only the fact that I had taken the day off work that made me decide to go. That said Meeting up with old and new Coupé folks did go a little way to getting me interested again. Thanks ALL I will do my best to have a happier head on come the Stanford Hall meet. Bob

Anybody spot the lime coupe beside it? Yeah, had various chats about it during the day, but never saw it's owner. Bit like marmite, either love it or hate it, I liked it The fellow did pop along to the club Gazeebo and say hello, I think he was the fellow who has been having issues with his club membership Hope he pops along on the Forum and says HELLO Bob

Nice pics guys. I have never been to this event, but i thought there was a hillclimb there not a piddly straight 200m run up a hill??? That is NOT a hillclimb!
It looks pretty pointless tbh. I may go next year to have a look around the exotica though!
Davie From the video i saw it didnt look like much of a test to me PAL! Looked like a test of traction in the first 2 gears up a hill and that was it, not impressive. right... So you have never been there and you KNOW that the hill is a piddly 200m straight.... Hmmm I don't think so, the hill climb has quite a gradiant to it and tests alot of cars to breaking point. I don't think it's a good idea to comment on it untill you have given it a go and seen it for your self!
