Yes indeed Tony, will be good to see you again. I assume you're a member there

Girlfriend's mother is being brought this time, she is SF Edge's Granddaughter http://www.landspeedrecordcards.com/SF_Edge.htm

The only bits they have from his life on display at Brooklands are a suitcase with his initials on and a coat a bit like the one he wore! She has a house FULL of his stuff, wondering if the museum wants any of it on loan? Any idea who she could talk to?

[tonymor]

I am sure the museum would be thrilled at the collection. the chap who deals with this dept is John Pulford on 01932 857381 ext 246.Thankyou on their behalf.

Brilliant, thanks Tony. She has offered me all his silverware and badges, there are quite a few bits and bobs, we'll talk to someone and then get a better idea of what there is and what they'd like.

Looking forward to it Tony

My original plan of taking the AC Cobra back to its birthplace fell through as it's only just come out of DK Engineering after having a few tweaks (racing exhausts in-place - I have never heard a louder road car!) & I haven't got it Taxed - so I'm going to take this:



See you in the morning.

Looking forward to this as I have never been to brooklands ...

A Few Photo's from this morning - a great selection of cars & combined with all to see at Brooklands and Mercedes Benz World it makes a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning.

Nice to meet you Tony - I can only see this event getting more and more popular (it's always nice to get in at the start of something like this and see it grow into something massive - bit like the Goodwood Breakfast Club)

David - great to catch up & see you in a few weeks at the Supercar Breakfast Club (I'll drop you a mail)











....and over at Mercedes Benz World (In the flesh SLR's are just wonderful gotta get one in the next few years!)

When is the next meet?

[NotNormal]

Great weather, great venue, great cars and a very enjoyable outing indeed. Nice to put a face to the name Tony and as already mentioned i'm sure these meets will only get bigger.

Day was made even beetter to come back and then watch Lewis win an action packed GP.

Exige looked awesome James, good to catch up with you both and yes we'll sort out something for Goodwood

[tonymor]

On behalf of Brooklands and indeed myself thankyou all for coming today and we are glad you enjoyed it.As a volunteer we are all keen to try and greet as many people individualy and welcome all ,possibly a little more personaly than some other breakfast club meets elsewhere? I wiil post out for the next meet nearer the time as a reminder but the date for the next one is May 15.Hope to see you all then.Cheers Tony.

[e30tech2]

Yep realy enjoyed today too, but wasnt sure going in the mercedes that spun you upside down was such a good idea though





I always thought my E30 was quite old looking until I parked in the paddock this morning



Thanks again Tony for the heads up on this event I realy enjoyed it.
