While I was there, they took me to the British Car Museum for a captain cook. I was astonished at how some of Britains finest were being treated. It was $5 to get in, then it was go for your life. No commentary, no guided tours and you were lucky if he spoke to you. I asked him where he kept his Missus. He laughed and said...."this is her!". He also must have been in on a plot to take over the worlds supply of jack stands. (See first pic for evidence) I was disappointed as there was only two Mk2 Escorts and no Capris.

All in all a trip well worth it. I also saw about 100 jap imports that I would have loved to bring home. Only problem is, there is only so much you can fit in your suitcase.

Regards,
Craig.
