I went to this last year and it was really good fun! All sorts went on the track from cars with aeroplane engines to a Lexus LFA....

Sibradbury,
T'was a good day last year......."Brutus" was a mean machine when fired up !!!!
Firework and concert is well worth the entrance fee.......
Taking whole family there this year......

......at my expense......again, but only doing the Saturday.......picnic and BBQ on the grass terrace I think

V. nice Paul.

Brutus was insane! I think it did about 1 mpg. The stunt planes were pretty good also.

I missed the fireworks as it would have been a bit late for my daughter. Tempted to go this year as it's on my door step, but I didn't realise it was so soon as I thought is was in July.

With the new RS4 going into production and in showrooms later this year, prices have taken a bit of a knock recently! The only car I've ever driven that requires you to boot it to get more grip in the twisties!

Andy,

How are you finding the M3 (I really couldn't get on with mine)?

Paulm · Jun 18, 2012

Pagent on Saturday was a bit of a wash out......but who cares when cars, family and happy smiles are involved !!!!
The crew enjoyed their day out, but were let down by certain maufacturers not displaying (Ferrari/Maserati) as there was only grass where they were supposed to be

Stratstone main stand did have a white Grand Cario on display....not wortha picture.
The time trials were a bit of a hit and miss affair...no one getting anywhere near course records, but fun watching drivers reactions to damp conditions !!!!
Have a few pics of Lancia's and a nice chromed M3 for Andy...
Will throw some pics on late tonight...

It was a shame the weather wasn't better - it was pretty wet for most of the day. I didn't go in the end, but I did hear the fireworks in the night and passed a whole convoy of Triumphs on Sunday.

Paulm · Jun 18, 2012

Si.... it was like a "mosh pit"
Fireworks were good......concert not as good as last year imho.
The only thing i was miffed with was a stuborn policeman who made us go right on a 10mile detour !!!!

BennyD · Jun 18, 2012

We made the trek yesterday and I thought it was a good show. The weather was good and lots of great cars. However, the only Enzo there was with us and was parked in the middle of a muddy field!
