Default Wheels Day..Top Gear track- Dunsfold Park

By no means a Subaru show, but thought it may make good viewing. Bit of everything there really, new and old...over all not a bad day.
I travelled up with my Dad driving his 78 Trans Am.
5.30am start looked like this:

Over the Dartford bridge:

The traditional queue, gotta love it:




Anyone from here maybe??














A nice surprise to see Mike & Ed:




Doing some film work, Ed had to fold himself up in to yet again a small car lol

I know, I couldn't believe it at first.....saw the engine bay, thought hmmm that looks nice, then saw the HUGEEEEEE turbo right at the front.
That whole car was dripping with quality parts, the fit and finish was stunning.

That looks a nice one and nice choice of rims too The Yanks did make some gorgeous muscle cars through the 60s and 70s, you have to give it to them.

You can see the car to the right, that has the original design wheel. Dad's is a bigger wheel all round, with an added deep lip, but still hinting to the original design. Big Baer brakes and Koni suspension in there too, as it sits lower.

The sounds these cars make are pretty nice, as others were leaving we stood by to look and listen.....heaven

Exactly my thoughts too, something about the 3dr Cossie that draws a crowd. The Cobra was about as good as it gets, it sounded absolutely brutal, just as it should
