Your car sounds the nuts! (That's me in the background during your Rev off)

Loved it! Many thanks to Pistonheads and Ginetta.

Left Melton Mowbray at 6:00AM and arrived at 8:00, after a stop for a full English. (Land Rover 110 CSW not the ideal motorway cruiser!)

Loved the tour, loved the cars and enjoyed talking to the people.

Was that your little lad sitting in the LMP car? Dad was very jealous!

Really great event, thanks to everyone at Ginetta and Pistonheads for organising. Spotted Lawrence making his escape just after the welcome speech, as he was off skiing!

Also great to see ANOTHER Volvo Polestar (Didn't get to meet the owner though ) and get a couple of side by side photos



Polestar shining bright here . . .

Oh and I forgot to ask: was I the only one who left the car park under the barrier?

My Atom made it out under the barrier as well

I can confirm that a Chimaera (with the roof on) can also make it under the barrier (just!!) It was nice to meet you and your wife Lez, and you spikey.

It does sound bloody awesome (I'm at the pump on your video when you pull into the Shell station at Tibshelf).

I think I'm seeing the beginnings of a new PH sport: Sunday Service Limbo

Had a really great day yesterday at my first Sunday Service so thank you PH and Ginetta for putting on a great day!

Car of the day for me had to be the amazing Evora GTE in the rear carpark. Everything about it was just so special!





This V12 S was pretty special too!

Haha, me and my lad were in turn admiring your loverly Maserati parked on the end of that row. Gutted we missed you departing as I after 3 hours of questioning (he's only 9) which car I'd buy, I finally persuaded him the Maserati was the most characterful in the car park.

Looked fantastic!

We only came from Rothwell, first ever Sunday Service - we quite fancy some more. Huge thanks to Ginetta and PH. Always had a thing for Ginetta after grabbing the best paddock picture ever (and most wildly inappropriate).

Thankyou. They are indeed packed full of character and great fun to drive and the sound of the V8 on song is glorious

What a brilliant day. First Sunday Service & not only was it brilliantly organised, people were very friendly & the cars, oh man, just sublime.

Thank you PH team, Ollie & Ginetta for hosting.

My pleasure it was great to see a full house ( I think we actually slightly over ) and some gorgeous cars on display. After moving to the Big Smoke in June from Leeds nothing beats some good old Yorkshire air to de-coke the lungs.
If anyone has any suggestions for northerly Sunday Services then please email them to me as we trying to do more for our 'northern 'assembly'

Also I have any idea for a small social gathering for the next one which I will suggest when I announce it so please keep an eye out and let me know.

Thanks once again everyone and hope you all have a great Chistmas

Nissan in Sunderland?
Bentley in Crewe?

Can't say there are many more car manufacturers in the North, although saying that I didn't know Ginetta were in Leeds

Can't wait for the next one though!!


Anybody know what happened to the LaFerrari that was top of the list, read one wrecked on the A40 a few days ago.

That was a joke, the chap's profile shows he owns a Twingo

We've tried to arrange one in Crewe before but we just couldn't make it "work" - Bentley were keen but also didn't want to do it unless the factory was in full swing (which it isn't on a Sunday) and yet it is too big to open up with a skeleton staff.

Such as shame as they have some amazing stuff to show off.

Friday service anyone?!?

I'm up for a Friday service. Would love to see more car factories after yesterday.

I've actually just started talks with Nissan / Infiniti about hosting a SS at the Sunderland plant.

[Carlique]

How about the Briggs Automotive Company (BAC Mono) based in liverpool?

I went up to the barrier whilst trying to find the right way in but I don't think it was going go under it.
