This is a bit cheeky but...

Would there be anyone going to BTaP who would be willing to give a passenger ride in something serious?

The quickest thing I have been in to date is an Elise, which, whilst a fantastic little car didn't really have the grunt to make me feel I was in a truly special car.

I know I'm pushing my luck here but I would love a brief trip in, well anything! But TVR, Ultima, Noble, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Esprit are at the top of my list of dream vehicles.

If anyone would deign to offer me a passenger ride I would be very, very happy - enough so that I may even purchase a few rounds in the evening!

Here's hoping!

Two of the meanest sounding cars around within 15 minutes of posting!!

I'm hoping to get to the hotel at around 2/3 in the afternoon - gives me time to settle in, go for a swim and start with the beer!

Thanks SO much for the offer guys - even if it's just "around the block" it'll be a momentous occasion for me, and not one I'll forget in a hurry either.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A very, very excited

I'm sure the Noble can be pressed into being wizzed around a few times. Just come and find me. J

Based on the last Bruntingthorpe videos, I can't promise not to swear - but I will surely come a-hunting for you! I have only ever seen 1 Noble on the roads and never been close to one - a ride would be more than amazing!

Cheers for the offers guys - you're gonna make myself and others quite happy I suspect!

Just thought I'd bring this back to the top as the offer is still open. I'll hopefully be arriving at 2 or so, so if anyone still fancies a spin in my car, then let me know and we can arrange to meet when I get there.

Yes please!

I hope to get there between 2 and 3 - I'll be driving the poorly looking white 205 and I've got ginger hair so am easy to spot.

Cheers again for the offer.

Manginger, you are welcome to come for a spin my Chim 500, the Chim is probably less tasty though than a Noble / Cerb - is still quite quick though; is chipped and has uprated induction kit

Yes please Mod500 - the more the merrier - they're all new to me and all stupendously quick compared to what I have experienced before. (No Mungo jokes please!)

Ted doesn't know about this.

Ted knows all!

Have just realised this could cost me a bit in beers - ah well a fair price for grinning like a loon all weekend.

No - Ted doesn't know about this. *cough*

Ahhh - it's obviously too early - cue mysterious shuffling, knowing winks and glances around as I get me coat!
