Hello all, Barry's little brother here. I thought I'd make a quick post to give my impressions of my first Breakfast Club run.

I drove down from Guildford with some fellow '5 owners and after some scenic stops on the way, we got to the circuit for about 10:00 (I know, we're slackers...). The queues for the main circuit entrance were about a 1/4 of a mile long in each direction, so it took us a little while to even get in. There was plenty to look at even at this stage, with various Ferrari's, Lambo's et al leaving Goodwood and blatting up the road past us.

Once in the circuit grounds, we were waved past the Italian parking and the Interesting Car parking, and slowly made our way to the Pleb parking :lol: . All the outer car-parks were full (many, many lovely cars even in here) and we eventually parked up in a field across the road! Turning up earlier would definitely be a plan in the future!

The place was basically packed with people (in a nice way) and I spent a very nice couple of hours wandering around looking at various vehicles, vintage and modern. All in all, very impressed and I hope I'll be able to make the next one.

Some pics:

Hi all.
I went down in my T after all, and not on a bike, because my wife decided to come. We were waived through to the paddock area parking on the inside of the track. It was also my first Breakfast club meet and it was far busier than I thought it would be, with long queues for food and drink, as well as to get in. Well worthwhile though and I'll try to attend more this summer.
I saw Barry's brother's message and pics and I agree there was lots to see. A couple of great Dinos (my car if I didn't have a 911) and I saw a couple of really nice 2.7 Carreras - I parked next to one of them. I could not see any other DDK cars, maybe because they were in the outer car parks? Next time I go I think it will be a picnic and a flask to save queuing!

As you may have gathered, I didn't make it in the end as I was out until 2:00am that morning. When I looked out of the window in the morning it was pretty grey and looked chilly, so I returned my bed :) .

Couldn't quite believe it when David phoned, and said how packed it was :shock: .

Next one is the French one, for which I suspect parking will be easier :lol: .

I think it was my 2.7RS you parked next to (the white over blue car in the photos a couple of posts up) - when I returned to the car to leave there was an orange 'T' next door.
