First time going to the MMS, having been on Fridays before a few times.

What's the format? Normal-ish Friday action, plus test drives? Can anyone grab a test drive, or are they pre-booked for potential buyers?

Pre-booked only sadly plus about 80 % of the weekend's cars are out on display (not driving) already

Only 'motorshow cars' use the hill on thursday . No supercars or racecars last year (audi R8 and ferrari only ran the california last year) also entry to the event was only from the lower car park. rally stage is not in action and only a very small number of rally cars were in the paddock.(so not really worth the walk up to be honest!) very good day though to look around the small trade stands, large car show stands and quite a few race cars will be parked in the paddocks.

last year there was a code link posted for free thursday tickets to order from goodwood! it maybe worth looking out for again saving 20 quid!

Nothing in particular, something to give me ideas for a new toy!

you can get a drive on the day - I wandered up to the Abarth stand and managed to get a drive in a Punto last year - I was there at about 7 though, so it's definately first come first served.

I hope you're not thinking of selling the TVR?

I was sticking my camera into the Jag which the Mugen type R bounced off at the time. Not good eek

Last year I used a promo code for free tickets for the moving motor show, I think it was a Daily Mail offer, not sure, anyone know of any free offers this year?
Thanks
