The Brooklands Society
Brooklands Museum |
A few of us chaps want to heartily recomend a day out at good old Brooklands
down in Weybridge,
Surrey. Well worth going on an event day, but not essesntial as there's loads to look at everyday.
The Best of British racing cars (and some amazing planes too) all in one place. Steeped with history, you don't have to be into racing to enjoy the atmosphere. |
