What a washout! Appalling weather, but there was still plenty to see, and I managed to get some photos through the wind and the rain. At least it was mild, I suppose.

Brooklands is a dis-used banked oval racing circuit that was last used for racing in the 1930s. There's a cool auto/aviation museum on site now, and part of the circuit is still there.

My own '92 Bonneville parked on the banked circuit:

^ Notice how my corner lamp has a piece missing. That was unfortunately the result of hitting a suicidal pheasant on Boxing Day. Sadly that also means the clear corners have to go, as they are unique to the Euro-spec Bonneville and are proving extremely hard to find. I now have replacement corner lamps with amber sections as on the US-spec cars.

Always cool to see the car shows over there.

For the corners, you could see if these guys would ship to you:
