The Autosolo was, yet again, great fun. And with it being spread over the weekend (I ran on Sunday a.m.) there was far less pressure than in previous years. Did the first track drive on Saturday a.m., spotting possible new Range Rovers on the way in to the Emissions Track, then spent a few hours signing people in to various events / museum tickets etc.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Forgot to pick up a 'brochure' for 2013, but that weekend is usually a busy one for me anyway. Well done to all those involved in putting the event on, plus the sponsors, volunteers etc. Not forgetting BMIHT themselves for the use of the site!

Regret I was not able to be there. My Sunday perspective (although I did not arrive until 12:00 as I had to collect the Pitstop Challenge car and cruise down with a large trailer behind the Disco) - just as well really, as I had a trial drive in the Morgan on Saturday and I am still struggling to drive it comfortably. - You missed an excellent Pitstop challenge. No nails were broken, no wheels dropped and the carefully designed bogey side-light proved to be the decision maker. - I had a small amount of time to watch the Autosolo and all I can remember is the grins on the faces of the competitors. - The concours cars (Those that were left by the time I had a chance for a look) were splendid. - It rained - a bit - not enough to spoil the day. - Mrs F. stayed home. - I did not buy anything - which is sad really - especially as Mrs F. was not there to supervise. - I hope Brian Downing got some good pictures for Miscellany - as when I got in the car for the drive home, I realised that my camera had not left my pocket.
