The Sunday Service sign up system needs to change. Late last night I was well into the 400's and a a mate of mine was a few places ahead of me but still nowhere near the magical 300.
NOW, I am at 317 and my mate is at 299 (he was at 302 about ten minutes ago...)
What this means is that people who genuinely wanted to attend have been denied places by people selfishly hanging onto a place only to release it at the last minute. What it also means is that there are going to be people in the 300 who probably thought they had no chance of getting in and thus didn't attend...
I'm not sure I agree with this. The system works once you have learnt that loads of people do drop out last minute, often with good reason (see above posts), so don't stop checking until the morning.NOW, I am at 317 and my mate is at 299 (he was at 302 about ten minutes ago...)

What would be a problem was if people in the top 300 don't remove themselves from the list and don't turn up, but from this morning, even with dodgy weather, it looked like our allocated parking area was bursting at the seams so I don't suspect this is an issue.

Great meet. Well Done PH and Jaguar for the hospitality and those that turned up.
A nice selection of cars inside the museum and outside in the car park, even the weather held off for a good while to allow a look around.
Some fantastic 'noises' as people were leaving and a big thanks to McLaren Special Ops for allowing me to have a good mooch around! Lovely car

Top marks to JLR for the free brekkie and coffee and allowing us to crawl all over the XE. Looks incredible in the flesh, why would you buy a 3 series or A4 with this in the market place? Also cheer to the PH boys for another cracking SS. See you all again next weekend at MBW.
I took quite a few photos which I'll sort later, the wife's brake pads require changing first.

Top marks to JLR for the free breakfast & museum access, a normal car park based event wouldn't have worked too well given the weather.

Thanks Lewis! It would have been rude not to join in!Top marks to JLR for the free breakfast & museum access, a normal car park based event wouldn't have worked too well given the weather.
I did see your MR2 but didn't see you to say Hi, hope you enjoyed the morning
