German Day - Brooklands - Sunday 29th Sept 2024
Hello,
I was planning on taking my D2 S8 to brooklands, wondering if anyone else would be attending? bit of a longshot. I will be displaying the car arriving at the campbell entrance, and will put my name down for the hill climb (rude not to).

Not for me, you may be the only one there. A rarity to see more than two at any meet other than the annual A8 meets.

Sorry, can't make it, I did look at going but just too much else on. Plus the S8 is currently on SORN, though will probably be taxed again for October.

Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course.  (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!
