(Sorry no pictures, but you know what it looks like after a good clean  )
It was the 100th Breakfast Club and being a Bank Holiday it was totally rammed. Cars parked further round the circuit than I've ever seen before and much bigger crowds.
I was supposed to be parked on the section between Woodcote and the Chicane but was a bit late so ended up on the Lavant straight! It was also still on its winter wheels which aren't the best, but at least they are what it left the factory on.  Only 4C when I left home this morning.
Anyway, a few newer fast Audis, couple of RS2s that I think I've seen before but not a single A8 or S8 apart from mine! 
This rather splendid Ghost followed me in, note the double-red RR logo!
