vroom....

After a particularly late and lovely evening last night, I managed to pick myself up out of bed for an early start, and drove across Surrey to join a group of other motorcar obsessives stand around and ogle at a few fancy cars. Chris Evans, the radio DJ had organised a supercar meet at The Mulberry, one of his pubs on the outskirts of Chiddingfold. Whilst not that bothered about modern day supercars, even the seriously exotic ones, it was on my doorstep and I was mainly tempted by the chance of a bacon and egg butty in the morning sun, and the chance to catch up with some friends.

Even though the turn out wasn't nearly as varied or rare as I'd hoped (you can often see a similar display of Ferraris and Astons in the local Waitrose car park) it was worth watching Chris Evans arrive in his F40 - in white - which was as close as you'd ever get to Automotive porn. He reversed into the car park of the pub, and climbed out wearing a cruppled white blazer, skinny jeans, and tiny black driving gloves, greeting everyone with a loud 'Good morning' and headed inside. How cool ? Driving an amazing car, to your own pub, with everyone gawping ?? Teenage dreams are made of this stuff, and how I wish I was 8 again !

Working in the auto industry, I've become used to alot of these cars and they are no longer that special. But for the kids and their dads running around, this was probably an amazing sight. So to get back on track, as this is a photograph a day blog, what was the photographic element ? Well there was one, and I had decided to focus on the kids getting all excited and running around. So I'll post three shots today that I think convey the awe the kids had ..... my favorite is the second. (And sorry, no pictures of the bacon and egg butty but it was pretty tasty)
