Saturday was the Aston Martin owners club meeting at Silverstone. Very hot and lots of heathaze:(. I weird mixture of cars running in several of the races.

The Austin Healeys were the best racing of the day

The walk up the mountain in 30 degree heat nearly killed me but once there it was great to see the old cars being raced. :cool:

Sorry for the off topic question but is the Defender in the first picture some kind of police vehicle? I love Defenders, I wish there were more of those here.
