Haynes Car Museum

On Saturday Brad, Nada, and me went down to the Haynes Car Museum which is about an hour south of Bristol. As this is England it took us a little more than an hour due to the traffic trying to get out of the city. But once we got to the museum we practically had the whole place to ourselves. Once we had paid our £7.00 entry fee went walked into the first hanger which held “The Red Room”. The room was full of old sports cars which were all obviously red. Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Maserati’s, MG’s, Triumph’s, Porsche’s, Jaguars, Lotus’, and many more row after row. It was hard to take it all in at first. We walked up and down checking out each car. Kris you would have loved it!!! Don't worry though between the three of us I think we took over 300 photos.





There were 5 hangers in all housing over 350 old and rare cars. One car in back hanger is one of seven ever made. Other favourites were the formula one Ferrari, Ford GT40, the Porsche 356, a Model T Hotrod, and the 2000 Ferrari 360 Spider. Check out the pictures taken below.







It was a great place to check out although there were not as many newer cars as I had expected. I did see a lot of cars by companies that I had never heard of before though. On the way out though we did see a few tanks and a really strange zebra paint job on a Porsche. The Porsche wasn't even part of the museum though. It just belonged to another paying customer but I couldn't resist taking a photo of it.


After leaving the museum we made our way up to Wells to have a quick look at the cathedral and then we had a quick walk down the main street where they filmed the movie “Hot Fuzz” which I have still not seen despite being in Wells last year during the filming of it.

We had a great pub meal in a classic British pub complete with the owner coming out and telling us stories about how one of his workers is moving to Canada. He went on to tell us about how his insulin injections have changed due to new government regulations. You just have to love that about pubs in England.
