definitely have to meet up 0n route miker
J14 on the M4 (A338 Hungerford / Wantage, just after Membury Svcs) is a simple roundabout under the motorway, I can linger under there and if you turn off and do a loop round the roundabout to meet up we can be back on the M4 in moments.
How about I wait for you there at 7:30? Its an hour and fifteen to Brooklands from there.
Will PM you my mobile number.
Mike, I know it as I live in Swindon, do you want to meet in that layby just up from the roundabout, the want age road?
BTW, take the missus to my friends restaurant near you, The Harrow at Little Bedwyn

Good plan Dart Vader, I know the lay-by you are referring to, and you can turn round in the junction just up the road.
I'll PM you my mobile number too.

Guys,
Many thanks for including me in the convoy from the "Mild Wild West" it was a great intro to Mopar Muscle for a newbie.
Still trying to wipe the grin off my face!

Well it was our first time to Brooklands as well, so it was great to cruise up with you and Jon - certainly makes the trip less boring when there's some other Mopars to look at on the road !
V8 Sam - we thought you couldn't keep up with the pace !
Jon - guess you got your gas cap back now - don't leave it behind next time
I always wondered what mpg the 440 Roadrunner would do on a trip like that and now I know.... 14mpg
