What a cool day out ;D
Loads of cool old cars, and some new ones too.
A little off-road course to get driven round, and an outdoor kart track.
Combine that with the test track next door with straights that are over a mile long, and the secret performance testing of the DB9, complete with wailing and screaming engine noise....
and you've got a quality time to be had by all!
Got some photo's of some of the stuff there, but they are on the GF's camera still....

I'll get scanning some more old photos from Oulton Park, and I've got LOADS from the show season last year that are going to need a new host soon... How much space have you got?

Thanks man,.. virtually unlimited (if you'll excuse the pun),.. my host has 500+megs I think, but I've got a box in Telehouse with as much webspace as I need really, so can store on there if required. |

Oooh I'll be in touch soon then! A load of my pics from last year are hosted on a server that will be getting shut down soon (and turned into an MP3 server for our house!) so I'll bear that in mind! |

Been there twice (Interford show) and enjoyed it both times despite dragging reluctant girlfriends round each time (on seperate occasions, I'm not into bigamy).
Got loads of pics somewhere too. Is it alright to show them on here in a gallery? Won't gaydon have something to say about that?

That CVT mini is quite interesting!
The shell is actually totally different if I remember rightly.

Were the other Mini and Metro prototypes still there?

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

yeah - but the G/f was having camera trauma, and a lot of the photo's were a bit below par  |
