Hi guys,

Yesterday was the annual Auto Italia festival at Brooklands, the legendary 
race track/airfield/manufacturing/testing complex in Weybridge, Surrey, 
England.   Auto Italia magazine hosts a festival for Italian cars, and part of 
it includes cars going up the test hill, which was built in 1909 to allow 
manufacturers to test not only their ability to make cars that could climb, but 
also descend safely.   Here's some info:

Geoff Peters (my best man at the wedding last week) lives only a few miles 
away, and always puts on a great show.   Last year he forgot about the whole 
'stopping' thing, and flew the car and crashed into a wooden barrier!   
This year he was a bit more circumspect, but no less impressive!
