Today Chris and I went to Brands Hatch to the Total Kit Car Live show. After a rather shaky start, having to dig out the tool box and correct a horribly mis-firing S7, we were finally on our way and arrived at around 12.30.
After parking our pride and joy and admiring everyone else's we met up with Peter 2B from our car club. we had a wander over to the paddocks, where the manufacturers on display were preparing their cars for a trip round the Brands Indy circuit. There were a few other stalls selling all sorts of bits and pieces, but alas not as many as previous years. we had a good walk up and down the paddocks, having a look at some of the beautiful machinery on display. Robin Hood Cars were conspicuous by their predictable absense, but there was still plenty to see. after a spot of lunch we stood by the track for a while and watched some of the cars hammer round the track. its a shame most of the public passengers were wearing crash helmets (although it was for obvious reasons) - i would've loved to have seen the looks on their faces!
another quick walk round the stalls, a token look at the car merchandise shops dotted around the track en route back to the car parks, and then time to call it a day.
the weather was kind, the journey there and back was virtually trouble free - the major signs for a good day out.
happy motoring, Becks xx
