This is a great museum and worth visiting just to see Thrust 2 as well as all the other exhibits.

Totally agree - it was a good event. I'm just sorry I had to dash off early and didn't have time to really enjoy the museum properly and chat to everyone.


See you all soon

Hopefully there are pics below

It was great to see a 356A cabby next to a RS60

50 years apart and about 50 inches apart, unique!

A fabulous museum now that it has been renovated and lots to see and do for the young and the more mature petrolhead

Most of the members who went around the museum spent over three and a half hours in there and still didn't get to see everything

Yes thanks very much for organising Brian. Me and my boys are regulars at the museum and we had a great day, so must have been fantastic for anyone new to the museum. Max also enjoyed getting to push the 911 to start it...

Nice pix Paul. When I finish (start!) the write-up maybe we can send all our originals to the editor to choose a selection?
