Your cars were one of the highlights of the show last year for me - be good to see them again!

We will try and make it in this year without one of the car's deciding it want's to try and cook itself.

All signed up - looks like a fantastic day!

How much are the raffle tickets so I know to bring plenty of cash!!

Guys, how does this work? You arrive at the gate and they opt to put you into a pride and Joy paddock/area or what? If so, can you leave when you like? Is it all cars mixed up or same marques together?

Hi there will be two raffles. One for the Top Gear Tickets, Short Break to Belgium etc and then one the three special cars giving a Passenger ride out on the day.

The cost is £1 per ticket for either raffle and also do not forget we have the Sporting Bears there too doing Dream Rides in some fantastic cars ( although I know that the Sporting Bears have a card machine). Lots to do on the day.

Hi All,

Another fantastic raffle prize to announce for those of us who like football as well as our cars.

Two tickets to visit Soccer Saturday during the live show. This will obviously be on a Saturday and will be arranged with the Shows PA for a mutually suitable date for your visit during the football season.


All details will be given to the winner.

Prizes are looking really good !

Hi yes you can leave when you want too but please bear in mind that we have a fun filled day and hope that you will like to stay with us and see the World Record get broken and the raffle rides in the three special cars will be drawn at 2pm. Three Car club have asked to be together such as the Wessex Ferrari Car Club but on the whole all of the cars will be mixed together. We have the Dealers section but 99% of the cars will be parked as you arrive just like the Sunday Services.

You can either arrive at the Gate at Beaulieu or you are more than welcome to join one of the convoys that have been arranged if you want a little bit of fun before the show. Hope this helps.

There's me and the Lezbo booked, donation made for the photo opportunity too, hopefully one of the lucky ones.
Be nice to see the Bond Jag and Lez's big red Growler in the same photo

Just need Michael Fish to forecast some good weather

Hi, I will be at the car park from about 8am and will be leaving between 9 and 9;10am, so plenty of time for food and drink and chit chat. I think there will be some great cars meeting there, and I am hoping to get photos/video of the cars as they drive through the forest.

Hi

Something special for the day. Fiona Easterby will be bringing the fabulous Pedro to the Show and will also be doing a book signing session for her book Beetle Drive. so you can have a photo taken by the famous car and also take home a signed book as a keepsake.

For those of us who do not know Fiona here is a little bit about her.

Fiona is a Camera Operator for Sky TV in the UK. She has travelled extensively for both work and pleasure; from a season working on the Formula One motor racing to walking with Lions in Zimbabwe. Fiona first combined her passion for travel with her love for cars in 2006 when she bought an old Beetle for £99; then drove it across the Sahara desert! Since then she has driven a Nissan Micra to Mongolia and a Fiat Panda around Italy. Then came the epic journey in a Beetle to Singapore, described by many as the ultimate motoring adventure. Since then she has driven a borrowed BMW E46 M3 around Wales and to the Netherlands, toured frozen Icelandic roads in a Nissan Micra and was lucky enough to drive Ferrari's in Norway and Denmark. She is always planning her next trip and will be away again as soon as funds allow. Fiona grew up in Hamble, on Britain's south coast; a sailing mecca. She stills spends much time in the village and when in London lives on a boat, to save getting too home sick

Hi guys

I'm Andy and I work at Beaulieu. I just wanted to mention a couple of things to you all before Monday. Firstly, massive congrats to Shelly for all the effort she has put in for this event - complete and utter dedication. Secondly, everyone at Beaulieu is hugely excited to welcome you all once again for the third pride and joy show.

I just wanted to update those who have donated money for the photo opportunity with the bond XKR. I have no easy way to say this but I have been told today that the XKR won't be able to feature for photos at the event, I have tried my absolute best to get this out of a new 'on screen cars exhibition' for the event but it is literally bolted to the floor and can't presently be moved.

I know this comes as hugely rubbish news to those who have donated to have their photo done with the car, especially the big bond fans amongst you, I can't apologise enough for this. Because of this I have been speaking to our museum manager to see if we can replace the XKR with another vehicle. After hearing about the superb generosity from you all he has agreed to send out our 1909 Rolls Royce silver ghost, one of our showpiece vehicles from our collection in the XKR's place. Due to the nature of the car, the Rolls rarely gets permission to leave the museum. I fully appreciate this is bad news to some but I hope the silver ghost can sort of make up for the bad news.

Shelly as mentioned earlier huge apologises for this

Looking forward to this, I will be down in the Drive Addiction R33 Skyline.

For those that don't know http://driveaddiction.com is a new website dedicated to informing car enthusiasts about local meets, events and clubs in their area. Actually found out about this event from the host posting on the site ^^

Hope to be tagging on to the end of either the Reading or Lyndhurst Convoy May even stop by for that BBQ on Sunday evening!

Look forward to meeting you all

Looking forward to meeting you and for anyone who has not used your site they should sign on as it is very good and also sends reminders to you so you never forget the shows/ meets that you want to go to. Have also met some very nice people through it too.

Hi All

I know for the Bond fans it will be sad news but for Beaulieu to allow one of their own Show pieces from the Museum. This car never comes out for any show so this is fantastic news for us and we are very grateful to them

On the Virgin Giving Page 18 people had put their name down and made a donation for the original photo and as a little something extra for these 18 people I have been chatting with John Stone from Bentley Hampshire part of the Harwoods Group who has agreed to do a passenger ride to one of these people in either the ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH or the GT CONTINENTAL that he will be bringing to the show. These marques of cars have both been used in Bond films so we hope this will be a little thank you to you all. On the day all of your names will go into a hat and one of you will win the ride. This ride is to be taken on the day. Timings to be confirmed.

Thank you to you all and for your support.

Shelly

Quick question - can't be bothered to read the whole thread. What is the suggested arrival time (if there is one)?

Hi the convoys from Lyndhurst and Rownhams services are both meeting from 8 am and will be leaving at aprox 9am to arrive at Beaulieu for half past nine but if you are coming to Beaulieu direct you need to be there for half past nine to allow time to get everyone parked.
