No need to be jealous

Especially when AMGs drive off into the sunset with £ notes comming out of the exhaust in the form of depreciation :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I had a really good day, nice to see a few of the S.East Region.

I must go back and visit the Brooklands Museum properly one day.

Dave looks at home on the 3 wheeler, book him in for the London-Brighton run in November.

:D I had a great day out too.

I must go back and do a passenger ride in a 4 x 4

Note to self..'walk across from Mercedes World as the car park at Brooklands is resembling a lunar landscape'.

Top day out, but if I went again, I would take some mountaineering gear to make the ascent of the Brooklands banking a bit easier.

Cutting edge German uber engineering in one building, British supersonic jet airliner stuck in the museum next door- discuss.
