	This year I will be pro active on this forum, this is a place that I visit nearly every day to see the talent, creativity and attention to detail that you friendly lot take the time to regularly post, so I will do my best to post some of my motoring antics from now on, and not just be a (very) long time lurker!!! So, for you unlucky (or hungover) ones that were not able to make it to Brooklands for New Year's Day, this is just a minuscule of what was there, there truly was something for everyone. Happy New Year Sweet Mk1 with the ole girl Parked nearby This place is Banked Long too There were planes Plane bits The kid in me started to come out as I got closer...... You should have heard it What is under the bonnet.....anyone? Did I say it was banked? Phwoarrrr This guy flew in.....went and had a closer look Love these Dunlop alloys....on most things So much to see up close Bucket list.... non "S", as time has gone on I gravitate to the early ones .GOV website said year of manufacture 1938!!!!! The brave guy was strapping on his lid and leaving as the rain started Another want....... I can't quite get over how imposing this car must have been when it was new Took this for my cousin Sol.....he loves em The kind staff with the workshop at the top of the hill opened their doors to the public, I took the picture through a window as this part wasn't accessible, all panels hand rolled on site, And I think the Mk2 was their parts chaser.....had a zetec and a roll cage I had a great day, stayed much longer than I thought I would, met some very interesting people, took a load more pics, maybe ill put some more on here if you guys are interested. Came back to find this cool split nearby. Anyway....again....to you all.....Happy New Year

	That big intercooler on the front of the Cortina made me think there was something interesting under the bonnet. The BX was certainly “Bright”

	I only checked what it is registered as having, so it's possibly got a Turbo motor but owner hasn't notified DVLA?

	Great start to the new year both in show attendance and photo sharing I think I'll go for the white Pantera as I do love me some Detomaso action. The shot down the track is the first time I've realised how big these meets can be.

	Great pictures, makes me homesick sometimes (only occasionally). Well done and thanks. Any pics of the A35 behind the Mk2 Cortina 2 door ? Would love to check it out. Happy new year to all.

This looks like a fairly good turnout considering the weather forecast was rain. I've been in previous years where the banked track is absolutely heaving with cars from one end to the other, and the infield area is also completely covered. Sometimes the quality metal gets parked up all the way out of the site and along the roads leading to it. It's one of my favourite gatherings and I'm a bit annoyed I've missed it the last two years, but I tend to assume that if it's going to be raining heavily a lot of people are going to keep their beloved toy wrapped up warm and dry. === Speaking of it being banked... the last time I was there we were being convoyed into parking on the bank. It's amazing how steep that bank becomes and the marshalls were sending us quite high to reach the end for some reason. We all came to a stop momentarily, and then when it was time to pull off again the 68 Mustang in front of me was a little bit enthusiastic with his go-pedal... rear wheels spun on the wetness/ frost/ moss and he glided rear-end first with no control down the bank ... coming to a stop a mere inch from an e-type Jag, and only because about 15 people ran over and tried to stop it. It is very banked. It's hilarious watching people thinking "I'll take a casual stroll up to the top lip with my fancy camera" and then watching them make the transition from casual stroller to free climber, and often sliding back down on hands and knees.

	The pictures give absolutely no indication as to how steep it is, half way up I realised I needed to turn back.
