Hah, Hah, there is plenty there to see - although it's fair to say everything is automotive by design; here is what they say on the website;

maybe she'd like a "hot lap" in a brand new SLS AMG Mercedes (roadster of course - goes without saying)..??

Hmmm ... sounds good! Not sure I'll be able to persuade herself to make the trip on a rainy day, not least as I think she's trying to get us all to go to a Jubilee party (in the rain .. boo!).

Have been there before, so know the kids like seeing the cars fly around and love the showroom .. only been on a very busy day with F1 cars flying around and loads of catering, etc. so dunno how much there's to do on a quiet day!

Any chance they'd let us all do a few laps in our own cars?? ;o)

I really hope it's not going to rain on Sunday

No chance of driving on their test circuit.

As I'm coming from furthest away I think, just wanted to check we're still on, rain notwithstanding.

Looking forward to it, shall bring the brolly.

[Charles Morgan]

I'm still on but will bring a coat, not that a bit of water on the car will go amiss!

[BenzedUP]

I'm still on for this as well even though I done really like to drive it in the rain..

[BenzedUP]

Just checked the weather and Monday looks much better, no rain from 11am to 9pm but i'm guessing too late to change now..

[just240]

Just to let anyone thinking of coming along today - the C55 GTG at MB World - Brooklands is still ON despite the weather.

[Charles Morgan]

I'm coming, no changes here!

[Coggers]

I'm not going to be able to make it. We're going to the mother in laws house instead. Great!!!

Hope u all have a great day and I'll endeavour to make it to the next one.

Just got back from the C55 GTG, It was great to meet up and compare different mods, plus meet some of you guys here, etc..

Took a few images, which I will post soon.

Cheers.
