Background to the incident

On the 15th of September, a group of my friends relatives and my wife, treated me to a very different sort of birthday surprise. I though I was going to have a peaceful day visiting Surrey, followed by a peaceful evening studying the 'dancing skills' of some young ladies at the Spearmint Rhino.

Instead I was given the chance to drive (or in some case ride in) a selection of special vehicles. These ranged from a Skate Board, to the Brooklands Concord. It was a most wonderful and re-memorable day, made the more enjoyable because of the all effort they had gone to.

The trap was sprung at 08:00 that morning, Click on the picture link below to see the best pictures from the day.
