Shame about the weather!
I have quite a few photo's from today would anyone like me to put them up?

Yes please BP

Who was the green 16NA?

Yes photos please.

Should we open a new thread for this?

Sorry barnacle if you were following me out of brooklands my Sat nav missed a turn towards chertsey & the m25 when I turned back at the island you were gone.

Nah, mine was having hysterics and kept changing its mind. It wasn't keen that we got out of that traffic jam and turned back to Brooklands.

Instead, we did a grand tour of Surrey and Middlesex and found the M25 at J13 instead, which was something of a surprise to all concerned!

I had a great day, the first time I'm been to Brooklands with fccuk, been with others clubs/cars over the years.

I think I had the only Coupe with two child seats in! It was the first year I've done the test hill, I really enjoyed it. I did my first run my three year old daughter in the back and the second solo.

I did two runs and think the first was better, a little bit of wheel spin to avoid bogging down. Glad I've done the clutch and belts in the last year.

Thanks to all those from the club involved in the planning and to Joe for the ebv+cam sensor recently.

Video of the hill to follow, if anyone's got a vid of my sprinty on the hill too that would be great.

Joe's pick-up was entertaining with the lights+siren.
Sorry I wasn't able to meet all the people who wanted airbag lights reset.

Thanks to all those involved in the club organisation, good to meet some more.

A newbie, I chatted at some length with him, don't ask me his name, I'm pants with names (sorry newbie ) I said you were the fountain of all 16v knoledge, as he wanted to talk to you re. exhausts. I'm sure he'll be along soon. Great to see all again, I'll post pics shortly. Sorry I didn't get round to doing your car Niel

Great day..... Loads of nice Coupes..... Had to shelter under Concordes wing because of the rain!!!! But it was mainly dry....Will post some pics later

Cracking day despite the weather. I can't tell you how much I just loved the track run - such good fun. Thanks for letting me have the slot. It was the 1st run with the new LL exhaust I just had fitted after the supersprint rusted through. Might not be able to compete with the Lambos noise but still a good opportunity to rev the nuts off it. I had the wife in the passenger seat and my son and his friend in the back and wish I'd had an incar camera as it was hilarious when at 90 down the straight she shouted brake for the corner hanging on for dear life. Love it.
Great to talk to those I did. Sorry not to have got round to others. Tales of Spa sounded so good. I'm determined to try and make it next year for the first time.

Ahem, ahem,

You didn't look hard enough, my yellow VIS (custard below) also had 2 occupied child seats in the back, and I was nearest the concorde bus and coffee shop!

We all had a great day, good to catchup with folk old and new. It's been almost a week since I last saw many of you at Spa

Thanks to Joe for the passenger ride in the van for the hillclimb!

The layout in the coupe area this year didn't lend itself to much mingling, so sorry anyone I didn't get round to chatting with.

One thought I had on the hillclimb, would be for the organisers to cut the dross out of it. It's a spectator event after all, and the number of less than 5 year old Alfas trundling up it like a normal road lost the appeal of watching it for me. Much prefer to watch those giving it a go in something loud, or in a fiat 500 with the leather picnic baskets wondering if they'll make it with a loud cheer if they do!!

Fantastic day really enjoyed it considering the weather, some beautiful cars on display. Great turn out over 50 coupes I believe?

Definitely more than 50 - I counted an even 50 about twelve o'clock, and others arrived after that.

In spite of the weather.

(Though I was wondering how they'd get all those Ferraris off their little lawn if there was significant rain!)

Another great day at brooklands, saw some lovely coupes, especially an inky black one very nice wish i had driven down in my porto now!

And wouldn't mind a turn in the new black Lamborghini!!

I have videos of all the coupes on the test hill will check them out then post them up later for you all
