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!!! ooo

...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!

Wow, what an awesome day, really wish i'd had more time to meet everyone and have a chat but there was just so much to see. Highlight was tagging on the back end of 4 lambos having a blast down the A3 on the way home. Got loads of pics but its going to take a while to sort through and upload them.

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.

It was great. Weather didnt really impact it.

Think I spent all day chatting, mostly to coupe
owners and a couple of lambo owners.
The red lambo coutach 5000 was bought for 50k 5 years ago and is currently worth around 85k.

We spotted a red supercharged Fiat 500, see pics.

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!! shocked

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 rolleyes Be paying you a visit soon Joe wink

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? yes

Have to confess to being a little uninterested in most things Coupé thus far this year frown 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 smile

I will do my best to have a happier head on come the Stanford Hall meet.

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!
