Saw a lot of marshals, but don't recall meeting RBS.

That all looks rather splendid, Peter. I assume this is a new site, and looking good,or have I been hopelessly out of touch recently?

VSCC have been using Brooklands for the Winter Driving Tests for as long as I can remember, There has been a few years when it was cancelled due to snow or flooding and it was moved to Thorpe Park for one yeara long time ago.

It seemed to me that the car to have would be an Austin 7. That said, I just love a "Chain Gang" Frazer Nash. The Alfa was driven with plenty of verve but I didn't see much of any others. It was a good day though, just wandering around surrounded by cars and drivers that were there for fun.
