did beaulieu,last september,some superb cars their and stopping off at haynes,a week on monday on my way to dorset hopefully
beaulieu is a bit run down and the exhibits dont change, haynes is v. smallbrooklands is about the best, as its got cars + f1 + planes - especially as you can now combine with a trip to merc world

We had a few days down south back in Feb and I badgered the missus into going to Beaulieu for a look as I hadn't been there since I was a kid.
stacks of really old cars that I'm not really that bothered about
Well it is a car museum!!! The whole point is that they have "stacks of old cars" stacks of really old cars that I'm not really that bothered about
I went a few weeks ago - Bank Holiday Monday - nothing but queues and crowds everywhere (to be expected, of course, but I didn't have any choice on the date...).
Pretty good, nevertheless, and I plan on going back again, mid-day, mid-week, and mid-winter, so that I can take my time, and get some better photos, without being constantly barged in to by numpties...
Good variety - some stuff that didn't turn my crank at all, but loads that did.

Should we just guess which place you are talking about? Pretty good, nevertheless, and I plan on going back again, mid-day, mid-week, and mid-winter, so that I can take my time, and get some better photos, without being constantly barged in to by numpties...

My vote is for Beaulieu.

OK - Brooklands on Monday = Great open air wander around, with some interesting machinery in various buildings.2) Haynes
3) Coventry

Haynes on Wednesday = A bit claustrophobic but a chance to see some of my boyhood dreams on show.
Spent too much on petrol so will give Coventry a miss, but if the good weather holds out I may get to Beaulieu on Friday

Although it could possibly apply to both Gaydon or Haynes, it was indeed Haynes...
