I was only able to stay 90 mins today due to other commitments but got a few snaps for those interested.

Superb set of images...

Here is our 'snaps'



French registered RHD RR quattro


































Incidentally, what was the commotion around the Rover P5 and the fire trucks?

Managed to pop in for a couple of hours. Seemed a few less cars than previous Breakfast clubs of this type, surprising given the great weather. Still lots to see though...

I've added the few photos I managed to take here....

OK, having tried t work it out I give up. So, who's signature is that on the nose of that Ferrari you snapped a picture of today? Not Piero Lardi Ferrari. Looks like could be Paolo Pininfarina but I can't figure out why, first name looks like Jade but...

I did a quick google on Pininfarina while I was there to try and work it out, like you I thought it might have been Paolo who is listed as the chairman, but it doesn't look quite right. If I see the cars owner at Goodwood next, I'll make sure I ask.

[Bob CD]

Might I humbly suggest that both first letters of the two names look identical, so if the second name is Pininfarina, the first name starts with P also and therefore is highly likely to be Paolo, the head of the Pininfarina design studio.

[RichB]

No need to be humble, it's a good suggestion

Was a great way to start the day. Always my favourite breakfast club.
I did leave wondering if would be a bigger and better event if they just made it a Tax free theme, rather than the 1966 cut off. The car parks had many fine cars that really deserved to be on track, just officially a bit too young. Loads of room for more....

Trouble with tax free means you end up with all the modern electric junk which is in stark contrast to what I expect you mean.

Was a great morning in the sunshine and really enjoyed the chilled out atmosphere looking around some great examples.

Agree, this one works just fine as pre-66, there's plenty of other BCs where newer cars are on theme.

This is the first breakfast club I've been to this year as I had grown weary of the ever expanding themes with ever greater crowds. But Sunday was exquisite, reminiscent of breakfast clubs of old. A great mix of cars, some mint, some not, some daily and some modified, gentle sunshine and a chilled out crowd with plenty of dogs mooching about. lovely.

The best meeting for the past couple of seasons I thought. Eclectic mix of cars, no crowds, sunshine, what a great morning.

I saw the pretty girl in the red and white polka dot dress being photographed in the phone box behind the pit.

Nice pics BTW.

Some really good pics guys! Mine are not quite up to the same standard but tells pretty much the whole story of the morning.

Almost filled my camera up completely while being blown away by the quality of the cars there. Some of the cars were newer then the theme suggests (Some brand new!) but it was cool to see such cars like a 300SL Gullwing (and roadster), classic Mini's E-Type Jags, early 911's, loads of 356 Porsche's, Mustangs & other Yank tanks, Ferrari 250 Lusso & even a Model T Ford joined in the party.

Its funny you mention her, we were sat on the bench at the southern end of the paddock when the photographer and the lass walked up to this....



After a quick 'pumps to heels' swap there were a few photos taken, then the photographer opened the E type and she got in for several more photos in various poses.... My daughter and I were in stitches, because it really wasn't obvious they actually had permission to be all over the Jag... Both looked a bit shifty about it... We were speculating about the 'cheap perfume' domestic likely to occur when the unsuspecting owner got the Jag home....

Ha ha, great story. Doesn't that sort of thing come with owning an E type though, women just throwing themselves at you/the car ?

Bit late for me to be posting but I love the Thoroughbred theme. The variety of cars it brings out is just brilliant. I seem to have taken a lot of photos of mascots, but some of them are really cool.
