ilovegrannys Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 The ship pulls into Portsmouth this weekend, so i am off to the motor museum. Anyone been? Thoughts. Cheers OSF'ers!!
young un Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Ive been - cant remeber what it was like though
Admin Mk2Jo Posted February 12, 2008 Admin Report Posted February 12, 2008 Beaulieu is very good but quite expensive (isn't every museum). Loads of cars to look at and not just OSF's http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/motormuseum/introduction.cfm
ilovegrannys Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Posted February 12, 2008 Cheers folks. Been on the website already, not overly informative. How ever looking forward to it.
pauln Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Last went there about 6 years ago and really enjoyed it. It's a shame theres not many runners, I would have loved to hear some of them running. Can't remember if there are many osfs (my pre osf days).
louie bagel Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 the place that started it all for me it was there when i was 13 i saw the car of my dreams rothmans rally mk2 escort still want one now
Nettles Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 I’ve been there twice recently; the last time was for the massive auto-jumble they hold every year. The vehicles they have there are some of the best examples you will see, but it didn’t take long to walk around the museum. We ended up visiting the chapel and manor house just to fill in time.
Toby Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Did you go on the monorail too? Had to be done!! And in the simulator - my "better" half felt sick afterwards!! Couldn't wind the windows down It's not bad I thought, I love looking at the really primative designs, you can see how cars evolved from horse drawn carts. It's amazing evolution - why didn't we just go - Horse drawn cart Mclaren F1 and sprinkle some OSFs in the middle for good measure????
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Funnily enough... i've never been
FredTransit Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I've been, it was good BUT NO TRANSITS! At least not some years ago. I might leave em some in me will....
Smudger105e Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I went years ago, and Lord Montague was riding a moped around, pissed out of his head!!
jamie Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Yes it's a good day out there - plenty of cars to look at. Went in the week before the autojumble weekend and I could tell they were gearing up for it to be massive. And yes, the monorail is cool!
