Had a quick look around this section, was a really good number of coupes. Turned up too late to get my coupe there with all the others though, some lady turned me away saying the site was full. Great day though!

Cracking day, excellent weather and at least fifty four Coupes!
We did very well on the hill as well.
All in all a cracking day I thought, thank you to the club for organising it as well as they did.

My snaps here: http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t31/nailed_barnacle/Brooklands%202009/ - hill climb pics courtesy of PeteP and Mrs Barnacle. Some highlights:Ten a.m. Can we climb it? Yes we can! View from the hill: Ferrari brakes - the poor dears obviously can't afford to have their handbrakes serviced: Red cars! Concorde: There must be room for a widget somewhere: Five p.m.

Got to agree cracking day out and great seeing so many Coupes. Cars of the day for me had to be Chris Evans FAB 1 Ferrari 250GT California and the red Bizarinni (not sure of spelling here). Being my first Italian car day I just couldn't believe the variety of stuff there including things like Strada Abarths I thought had long rusted away. BTW anyone see the 360 that expired at the top of the hill with very expensive clouds of smoke coming out of it? Look forward to the next one.
If all else fails read the instructions

Nice to meet, erm nobody, I was mincing around in my gayboy vest. Good coupe turnout! My Pics Above are my photos from today, if you want me to email one of your coupe them please PM me. I got a few of the coupes hill-climbing but they weren't that good, can send if you really want. Ps please don't add me on FB - only if you actually know/have ever spoken to me. Nice day folks, good work on the turnout. One unexpected highlight for sugarbear and myself was seeing a F40 laying down some elevens on the M25 on the way home! (Did I mention I've been in an F40?).

Yeah great day - looked like the FCCUK Club had the best turn-out of almost any section and my car was the only one of its colour (light red metallic) Great to put some faces to names (Barnacle, Barmybob, Bockers, Inzy, Coopsnoop, Porkypaul, Sedicivalvole, & Countrycruising) and I was impressed with Brooklands in general - lots to see & do, great atmosphere, a celeb appearance, and the historic banking actually raised hairs on the back of my neck...also, in one of the planes (the 4-prop cargo plane) I got chatting to an elderly gentleman who actually piloted that very "crate" for some years - fascinating stuff I can tell you! Even Mrs Jas_racing & Miss Jas_racing Junior enjoyed themselves! Thanks all for the organising, although I think next time a longer-lasting gazebo might be an idea My photos: Row o' Coops - Banking - On the hill - Joe going for the gear-change to beat all gear-changes! Chris Evans being taken for a ride...(not the best photo but hey-ho) REALLY liked this Uno Turbo (mk1 with 20k miles on the clock, all original condition )
She's GONE!

Great day and good to get to meet some of you face to face, my car was the siver one with the LE interior and dark grey wheels, bored the hell out of my son while he watched me trying out my newe car wax! And did that white car with the lambo doors sound fantastic or what!

What a fantastic day out yesterday. As a family, there isn't many places you can go for £28 and all find something to entertain you. I really love all the displays at Brooklands, and even though I have been there a few times before it was a first for junior...here are a couple of memories of the day. Did anyone else have their picture taken like this? Julia

It was fantastic to meet up with everyone yesterday; I hope you all enjoyed the day as much as both Trish and I did. Unfortunately I missed Chris Evans, but I heard really good things about him, sounds like he is a really nice guy. One thing I am most pleased about was that I was able to leave the event this year without a glowing red head. I caught the sun but not as bad as some. When one of us left the event it looked like they had an extra special LE feature, a black and red headrest
Gone Audi mad!

We had a great day also, the family loved everything that there was to see and my day was totally made when Paul let me take his place with the hill run in the afternoon, cheers for that Paul owe you one chap There was some really lovely cars there and the coupe turnout was fantastic, best coupe meet I've been to yet along with meeting some new and old faces and 4 Vincy grey LE's The link should take you to my pictures, I was able to take videos of the first hill climbs by Paul, Neil and Sugarbear, not the best of positions but standing ground was limited in the morning. Brooklands pictures. Hill climb. My hill run in Mrs CC's VIS with Porkypaul's Son Joe as passenger and camera man, cheers Joe http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt5/c...09_14410001.flvThe beast! http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt5/c...09_12560001.flvAll in all a great day and well worth the 300 mile round trip, I'll be there again next year for sure

Good vids Joe. My brother and I were standing up some steps (beside the little jet-fighter next to the 'commentary' bus) when that Pantera - parked underneath us- started up. Scared the life out of me and almost shook us off the steps
