Mercedes Benz World and Brooklands 20th September
Oooh - just checked the map. Looks like I can do a complete M25 circuit! It’s the same distance whichever way round I go. I might just go clockwise.

Seems that Chelmsford and Brooklands are diagonally opposite each other, so a loop is possible without any extra effort.
The downside is that I may decide not to do this due to idiots throwing concrete blocks off the bridges on the A12:
BBC NEWS | UK | England | Essex | Concrete blocks thrown onto cars
This was a problem at the beginning of the year, but it seemed to have stopped. If I go another way to the M25, I’ll have to forego the circuit. Bah!

Hi Paul,
Steve and I are meeting up on the Fosse at 7.00 and will go down to Leicester, then the M1. We are meeting Woody at Watford Gap at 8.30......is that any good ?
Hopefully it should be quiet at Mercedes world and Brooklands as it's the Goodwood Revival week-end!
Safe driving, D.

Well I just got back we had 8 cars turn up in the end after a couple of surprise cars appeared to join us, a few more Roadsters this time which makes a real change.
MB world was really impressive very sad to see the state of the aircraft at Brooklands though but was a good choice of venue well done guys

Well guess I was one of the supprise cars. Had to turn up really as we live 30 mins away.
Really enjoyed the MB World , a good choice of venue. Sorry we left early and didn't do the Brookland's museum but will give us something to do on another weekend
and with the good weather was an ideal time to get the top down.
Thanks for arranging the meeting
Rick & Karen
P.S. You drive about for days without seeing another crossfire and then 7 come along at the same time....... spookie!
Brooklands car park

Three in a row
