Haynes Motor Museum - monthly meet. 1st Sun of Month
Discussion
On a nice sunny summers day the main car park is full by 8 8.30 & the 'track' by 9.30.
Cars are leaving from around 9.30 - the event is usually pretty much 'over' by 11.00
It's about an hour from Sidmouth (A303) so if you can leave by 8 you'd be fine, much later & you might well miss some of the more interesting stuff. You could of course make more of a day of it by having a look around the museum proper.
Be aware: a few people have been 'done' on way to or from Haynes so watch your speed..........(particularly if you are running 'late')........ you have been warned!

Pretty much applies to any event like this, take it easy speed wise on the way in and out because there is a higher than average likelihood of cameras, and don't try and be a hero with a smokey exit, as if you bin it you'll just make things more difficult for the organisers in future.

I have had the 2 week nervous wait after being at Haynes, had some white van man tailgating me and after booting it away from him, had a camera van over a crest barely a mile or 2 later! Got away with it though.
A load have not uploaded for some reason - will sort later. This is it for now:

So after a crazy early start at work and quick blast up the A303, I arrived in the 208 Gti at about 9.15. Well worth the effort with nice weather and a selection of cars for pretty much all tastes.

I too seem to have had Flickr uploading issues, and unfortunately deleted a few images before realising.

Its much bigger than the last time you went - I went last month for the first time in a while and I got there early (9.15) as my kids were up at 6.
There was well over a hundred cars already there by 9.15...
I will be travelling up the 303 early again if I'm woken early again...... Love the sound of throttle bodies on a chilly morn.....bwaaaarp
