The tax runs out a midnight the day before! 
Not sure it's worth renewing when there'll be no chance to drive before May!

That was a busy New Years meet, never seen so many cars there before, quite a long queue on the access road when I arrived.
Ended up parked on the banking the far end from you Bob, obviously our paths weren't destined to cross this time......

It was busy Geoff, possibly its busiest yet,Brooklands reported they had over 1,100 cars enter the Museum today.... So not withstanding the Brooklands
members which probably was not that many .....£9.00 per car and driver they raked it in.
At least the food inside has improved 100%

I'm guessing those photos were taken fairly early in the day, there weren't too many vacant parking places later on.
I know some people grumble about the £9 entry for classic vehicles, but when you see the size of the operation they're having to fund here and
the wealth of things to take in - well I think it's it's worth every penny....

I shouldnt really complain about the £9 since i've blagged entry 3 years on the trot, so many cars to look at this year i didnt get a chance to
have a nose around the museum itself.
Decided it was time to take out the annual membership again,at £30 a year its only 3 visits to get your money back
