Beaulieu National Motor Museum

Popped in to Beaulieu on Sunday to see the Hong Kong - Beijing quattro...



Had a cracking day, even if the 'smart' car owers club were having a pow-wow/plastic panel swapping session


Some massive machines from all over motorsports history, but I remember watching these in action, awesome machine. Hopefully the pic does it justice.

Also up on the old Goodwood FOS banking was David Caulthards McLaren.


Photographers dream and a great (if slightly pricey) day out.

Some legendary motors there, havent visited for several years. Prob worth going back again sometime

went in the summer with my boy and we had a blast....it definately needs to be brought up to speed in places though, the wheels rides tops out in the early 90's. technology and design has moved on a ton since then and should be reflected in the collections and the info.

Having said all that riding on the buses and the monorail etc was fantastic for a 3yr old....i think he's a mini-me

Lol, yep, our two nippers didn't need to badger me too much to go on them... It's a nice gentle day out isn't it...
