Many thanks to all the events team. As usual you did a great job!
I'm a bit of a secret Luddite, but somehow managed to find a video thingy on the phone, press the right buttons AND get it uploaded - I need a darkened room now..........
Here is Pinky the Panda going considerably faster than some exotic stuff, and sounding better too (turn up your speakers!). It's already on the Classic Panda thread, but here for your ridicule/enjoyment. I couldn't see how to upload direct to the albums, so this is it for tonight

Big well done guys:slayer:, I missed it last year mainly thanks to the 10 tonne driver who decided he liked my lane so much he almost ran me off it writing off my old HGT now as a cat C anyways that's another story
Least I made it this time round with the Black HGT it was a great day (it was last time as well IIR), lots to see and what appeared to be more members turned up than the last time I was there which was great
I wanted to go on Concord too Ben as you mentioned! You had to have some boarding pass thingy which sounded like you had to part with cash so I didn't bother, oh well
Had a really good time checking out members cars, we have some really good motors on the Forum, some look like they just came out the factory yesterday!
kimi1984 With regards to that Ferrari and the Hill-climb.
I was actually at the top of the hill when it left the road launching into the air it was like watching'Knight-Rider' (the 'Hoff' version not the other lol)...but with a Ferrari,
It cleared about 2-2.5 meters of air-space before landing with a crunching noise (chassis I think), bounced twice went off road narrowly missing a parked lorry at the top slalomed, finishing as the car went 180. Obviously spectators were concerned (curious more like lol) to see if driver was okay and his prancing horse. He managed to drive it away amazingly but I think his passenger who I thought was Female is going to need a change of underwear and a stiff drink! whatever he's done to it I don't think it will be cheap. Kicking myself for not filming it, it was a great 'YouTube fail' moment :bang: Look forward to next year

Brilliant day thanks to everyone at the forum for sorting the convoy and sorting the stand plus the free food and drink also thanks for choosing me to do the hill run, I had a great time
Some great people on here that I wish to meet again soon

Well done & thumbs up to the Fiat Forum!
First of all, shame the Fiats (most Fiat clubs) were yet again placed on the remote banking. Having said this the number of Fiats present meant that a larger area was required. In the same vain the main Alfa area by/adjacent to the Club House would have housed all the Fiats. Meanwhile they spilled over into the gaps we could have potentially initially been placed in.
ANYWAY! Now to the much more positive.
The Fiat Forum stand accepted, fed and watered all Fiat drivers, and even other clubs & passers by. Brilliant and 110% votes from me. I don't know of / did not see ANY other stand showing the same hospitality. WELL DONE FF!!!!
For those involved in the organising etc. etc. I raise my hat.

I too want to add my thanks to those in the HiVis jackets who organised such an excellent day. Chat, smiles, tea, coffee and food flowed in abundance right till the end and made for a great team event. I would urge those that felt the same to bung another Donation the Forum's way, as a thank you. Bloody good work chaps....!
Thanks once again to the guys who organised the stand: The preparation was impressive.
Good to chat to some of you, putting names and faces to the cars.
I've got 100+ pictures to organise, so bear with me...

Another great Brooklands show
Big thank you and well done to the Forum members on the organising team, they really did do a superb job, the Forum just keeps getting better at this kind of thing. Biggest FF turnout I think I've ever seen too.
Pinky the Panda raised a little more for his restoration, I'm sure the hill run helped. Thanks for the vid Gavin!
