PH ‘Silverstone Sunday Service’ Meet This Weekend

You know it makes sense

---

Perhaps it’s the balmy British heat that is playing havoc with our brains, but the pistonheads crew thought we should take advantage of this fine (but much delayed) weather by organising a ‘Sunday Service’. Afterall, we haven’t met to chat and breathe cars since June.

So what better place to convene than at Silverstone this Sunday (August 12)? The epicentre of British motor racing is hosting round eight of the British GT championship this weekend,

Show and shine at this weekend's Sunday service

but it won’t cost pistonheads attendees a penny.

British GT loves us so much that they’re creating a private pistonheads parking area as well as offering 150 free, yes, free race tickets to compliment our Sunday Service. Better still, ticket-winners will also be given a pit-lane tour (which money can’t buy) and a pre-race Q&A meeting with the drivers and engineers of Team Damax Ascari.

If you want to blag a free ticket, please send your name, address and car details ASAP to [e-mail] with the subject ‘Silverstone Sunday Service’ and we’ll hand them out on a strictly first come first served basis. We’re hoping to sort out more free tickets for British GT’s other calendar fixtures at Thruxton, Croft and Rockingham later in the year.

So let’s get this straight. A pistonheads meet with the office crew, free British GT race tickets, free pit-pass and private pistonheads parking? Ladies and gentlemen, you have no excuses….

All good mate, shame you can't make it.

Garlick,

Have you noticed that quite a few ticket winners will be arriving around lunchtime, will picking up tickets then still be ok? (I will arrive at 10:30, sadly missing the Damax intro).

Edited by Nicol@ on Thursday 9th August 12:15

Garlick said:

Come on guys- the news says it's going to be hot, BBC weather says it's going to be hot! It will be ice creams and sun cream all round.






But then again.......I do take the rain with me

maybe this will be the turning point, and your reputation for wet meets will go

If anyone swaps tickets can they let me know as we'll need to tick names off as you arrive. Just so we can make the name list correct.

If you swap tickets after today- just ensure you have the name of the person the ticket was originally allocated to when you arrive at the circuit.

RedCabbage- if you ask people to mail you please as that may be easier.

Cheers

No problem, just didn't want to mess things up for you guys.

If anyone needs a ticket PM me and I will give you my details so that you can collect a ticket in my name. No pretending to be Red Cabbage though!

Gone to MrsT!

I owe you a beer. Thank you!

hoorah! is brother David coming now too?

Why not? You are aren't you!

Do you not remember PistonFest?

Yes. That's when you told me you're kinky. Or did you mean Kinky? I just assumed you were some drunk pervert like everyone else there

I might have been a pervet, but I wasn't drunk

If it makes you feel any better, we had a wonderful day

Of course it does, I'm glad it was such a good PH event, and Garlick deserved a change in his luck.

Garlick was going to stapled to a stake and burnt if it rained again!

I was thinking of making a little wax doll and cutting off a lock of his hair to stick to it, then sacrificing it to the Rain Gods who he obviously needs to appease for some evil he's done in his past life.

I think Garlick tried to get away from you when you spoke about his hair being cut off! lol just uploading some photos now

At least if he had less hair it wont take him as long to get ready, apparently he needs an hour in the mornings!!

Ooops, I wasnt supposed to tell anyone that

(I think thats reverse pshycology though, telling a woman 'dont tell anyone' really means, I want everyone to know)

[Matt172]

Nice pics Kinky

When & where will the video be published? I saw some filming going on around the paddock.

Hopefully tomorrow on the home page- we are just editing now!

ooo I'm all excited now, hope you've cut out the bit where I accidentally mentioned that our car might not have any cats fitted

I had a good time on Sunday, too. Glad to hear you all did! Apologies if i appeared a smidge miserable in the ticket office - I'd been up since five and was running on three hours sleep and no breakfast!

nice to meet you Alex
