Hi Rodewaryer,

I have had the pleasure of driving what is left of the old Brooklands banking.
Back in 1985 when I used to have a Willys Jeep. (I traced its history back to North Africa) One weekend my then girlfriend and I went out for a drive and came across Brooklands and as no one was around, we did look to see, I had a nose around some of the old buildings and ventured on to the track. Although very bumpy and with some parts with huge cuts taken through you could get a feel for what it must have been like to drive."Awesome", although I feel that a Willys Jeep was not the best vehicle to use to do any kind of justice to such a historic racing circuit.

Hi everybody, my name is John Simpson and I've just registered.


John.

As requested, here's my 1st post.

I've got a Forest Green SV, which i've had for 13 years - one of these days i will definitely make a National.

Hi, I've just bought a Mk V GT. It needs a lot of work but it is running.

Fined £10 to club funds. Alpines are not Mks they are a SERIES

My Alpine is a Series 5 modified in period for motorsport.

Hello Steve logging in for the first time,
Just before I go and see why my SIVa jumped out of overdrive twice on return from spares day, and now wont work at all.

might be back for advice if others have had same problem,
glad it has done it now not on way to Cannes.

Well today was a special day in the life of my Series 1 Alpine.

It has been just over 20 years since for some unknown reason, I decided to do a ground up restoration. Much has change in the world since that fateful day so long ago, but one thing has remained constant, the beauty of a simple British Sports car. A Sunbeam Alpine, my Sunbeam Alpine.

It was only a short trip down to the end of drive and back but a major milestone in the long trip back onto the road.

The end is in sight. Its so close I can almost taste it. The open road calls.

Hello,

Joined the club at the Bristol Classic Car Show and hoping to arrange collection of my Alpine in the next week or so. Just hoping the weather holds!

Richard

Not sure what sort of message I am supposed to post here?
Bought my first Alpine (a Series IV GT) in 1975.
Came back to Alpines in 2005 with a Series V GT that has since been converted to dual fuel.
Been to the last 3 'Nationals'.

Regards,
Ken Watson.

Ah, whoops.

My name is Richard, and I am a caraholic. I thought I'd cured myself, but then went and bought the first Alpine I saw. Clearly I'm an idiot.
