Evening all! Just had a great day out with the fiancee at the GTM. After posting a thread a good few months ago we just finally got around to going.
It was amazing! Worth it for the XJ220 concept and the Mk1 Mexico alone!
Got a couple of good photos but not able to post them up sadly at the moment!
But to those who recomended it back in my original thread i thank you because i wasnt dissapointed smile even treated myself to a couple of Ford Escort keyrings and some Ford postcards. Really interesting place and i would recomend it to anyone who appreciates not only cars but history on craftsmanship and motorbikes too (the Senna tribute bike is awesome!)

I often drag friends and family for a visit, they're always amazed, it's a real gem pretty much in the middle of nowhere! Hooning round the track can be a hoot too!

usually theres a few of the local clubs hire the track for a day and let you have a blast round, I help run the mini club day there but due to soaring costs from the museum we arent running one this year, think the capri club are still having theres at the end of August.
