Went to the annual classic car show at the old Brooklands circuit near Weybridge, in Surrey (not far from the outskirts of London) on New Year's Day. A great show it was too. As an added bonus, it was also the starting point of the London to Cape Town Rally, in which a lot of elderly vehicles of all kinds of nationalities took part.

Here's a few photos from the show....

I absolutely love old rally cars. Very cool pictures, thanks for sharing. I always enjoy looking at your car show pictures. Nice to see something different from the Camaros and Mustangs over here... seems like that's all anybody shows anymore...

I like all the pictures with the random person in there with the car. They have no idea they're on the interwebz.

I would go to this and just walk around talking to everyone. Friggin love the British accent.
