RE: PH Sunday Service: 16/9/2012

Wow, what an absolutely brilliant day.

Thankyou to the PistonHeads team for the very warm welcome on the gate, it's always lovely to be greeted by people who are happy, smiling and enthusiastic about being there. The stand location was also brilliant, right by the bus stop or you could take a walk round the circuit and see the action at eye level.

It was great fun, lots of action, lots of things to see. The FXX / 599XX / 599XX Evo programs were absolutely mind blowing and it's something that'll stick with us for a long time.

Thanks again PistonHeads and Ferrari!

Thanks PH for the day,got there in my brothers 7 series and had a great day,yes even got on the wrong bus (public) and went all around the site and didn't go onto the "VIP" bus to go direct to the PH car park.

I love the FXX and the noise they make when going down the revs,simply amazing!

Yesterday was my 1st SS and my 1st at lending a helping hand at the gate checking people in through our make shift coned area. I'm sure some people thought our coned lanes was an Autotest area admittedly the muppet in the hi-vis jacket was as much use a chocolate fire guard, I’m sure he was a highly trained individual, but in what I don’t know

It was a superb day, although I wish this was a 4x4 forum as getting on your knees to be at eye level to check names is only so good the following day, especially when your 6’+ !

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day, although, the highlight was probably having a chat with people on the gate and trying to get a smile out of people, oh and seeing an F40 on track

Fantastic day out and congratulations to everyone involved in organising the day. Hopefully we also collectively raised a shed load of money for Mission Motorsport

Great day out.

Thank you very much for your help, it was much appreciated. Buckets went back to Mission Motorsport absolutely brimming, so we're all looking forward to what the total was.

Thanks PH a brilliant Sunday Service. Some excellent cars and getting close to the race cars was awesome. My favourite part was listening to those FXX and 599's to round the circuit. The change downs for the corners sounded like claps of thunder... Loved it!!

I've come to one conclusion today. I'll happily give up sex for the rest of my life if I can have half an hour in an F1 car and Silverstone to myself.

Really?

Quite happily.

Great event PH! Really enjoyed ourselves and fantastic to see the XX and Cliente F1 cars on track.

Nice idea to have a motorsport associated charity collecting on the gate and I hope the donations they received help them continue their excellent work.

Don't think you were the only ones that did that - we did too. Was nice to see the rest of the circuit though

what happened to the SS stickers? i didnt see any handed out yesterday?

We haven't handed those out since 2011

One of the best SS yet I'd have to say.

Been looking at all the great pics (took a few but checked them yet), and notice I must have left the stealth switch in the on position on the Cerbera again

Is that the small ones with Sunday Service on the bottom?
I saw one yesterday for the first time, and was disapointed to not find them in the shop when I got home
Any chance of them being sold or given out again?

Hey Stuart

Is there an online giving page? I didn't donate on arrival as I had to break a 20 ...and when I left I was keen to get away - missed the buckets!!

Cheers

[Nobby77]

Had an awesome day, so thanks to all involved for organising the SS.

And on another positive note - my 1 year old kept her ear defenders on ALL DAY LONG! Yay! She'll be making her way to ALOT more motorsport events now

Absolutely loved the XX programme. Gutted that the F40 LM broke but atleast I got the chance to stand next to it in the pits whilst a couple of guys fettled with it.

[aussieinlondon]

Great SS at Silverstone.....

Thanks PH and all those involved and volunteered their time and energy

[Moley RUFC]

Any idea what happened to the F40 LM? It was running in a very strong 2nd place until it dropped out.

[DanDC5]

Not sure on the F40 but apparently, the guy who had the big crash in the 458 challenge race is in a coma.

I dont know about the £110, possible owned by a blue badge holder? Others I would guess some others are 1st year tax disks (inlcuding one off showroom tax).

Not sure about that either, but an import from a country that doesn't do CO2 levels means they can't tax it on CO2, so have to revert to the pre-March 2001 rule. So the most you pay for a year is £220, irrespective when it was built. As I said, it only applies to an import from a country where the CO2 level is not written on the registration documents.

Oh dear, thats not at all good. Fingers crossed he makes a swift recovery.

It slowed on the straight to Brooklands. no smoke or anything untoward.

Thanks again everyone involved, was going to say hello Garlick, but you where busy.
Another hello was to the Cerbera and the black DC2, who made my journey home slightly nicer.

Me and the Mrs had an absolutely fantastic day yesterday, it was great to see the selection of F1 cars and the FXX hit the track, and several 458's having moments just after the start/finish straight!

Great to meet some new PHers, and i'm not certain this SS can be beaten
