Brooklands 2004

Brooklands, New Years Day 2004

Each year Brooklands starts the New Year with an 'Open' Club day. All vintage, classic and modern car clubs are welcome. Various cars turned out for the day, but the most interesting car must have been the car from the film "The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen":

The twin steering, front alignment chassis was built in London by Retromotoring, and is powered by a Range Rover LSE 4.2 V8 engine, with independent suspension, hydraulic supports to raise and lower the car, and dual front wheels. The fibreglass body was made in Prague and retrofitted to the car. The 23 x 9 foot vehicle reaches speeds up to 59 mph.

"The car is amazing", said Shane West. "It makes the Batmobile look silly. I get to do some driving myself, and it was like nothing else I've been in. It's possessed!¨
