visited Beaulieu on Sunday to say hi to the Honk Kong - Beijing quattro...

Superb day...

And some cracking cars.

I remember watching these race at Brands Hatch in '87 Awesome machine.

And these old girls barking in the forest.

This was in superb condition, put the quattro seriously to shame.

There just had to be an F40

And a superb sunset.

Just superb machine

Prost's 88 McLaren.

Beaulieu's not cheap (but they are doing a free re-visit within a year at the moment) but it's great this time of year as the crowds are small, towards the end of the day we pretty much had the main hall to ourselves and it enabled decent photo's and the chance to get up close to the cars. The staff were helpful too, with it so quiet, they were happy for you to cross the ropes and get right up to the exhibits.

Looks like well worth the visit.
main problem with the Classic Car show was by 10am, you've got no chance of taking any pics without people peering into your lens!

The Silk Cut Jag, in all it's glory

David Caulthard's McLaren

The Hong Kong - Beijing quattro, with bluebird behind and stars above.
