Passenger rides at moving motor show

[C2james]

So a few people have mentioned that they have a test drive/passenger ride for the MMS and you could get one on the day if they have any spaces and if you get there very early.

My question is can anybody get a ride in any of the cars in the display area and do you have to be a serious buyer as I would quite like to go up the hill but being 19 probably won't be buying one of the cars tomorrow, but if I win the lottory that might change

can anybody help?

Last year rides were available on a first come first served basis although Audi & Ferrari only gave rides to the favoured few even though i was booked for a ride in a V10 R8.

I arrived at the appointed time only to be told that my ride had been given to a prospective purchaser.

I dont know if it will be any different this year. Have to see what happens tomorrow.

If you get there early enough, you might be lucky. I got a ride with Abarth last year by just getting there before they filled up.
This year, I planned ahead and asked a lot of manufacturers beforehand, and I suspect a lot of people may have done the same. Still, get there early, and see what you can do.

thanks, im planning on getting there for around 7, do i just ask the manufacturers staff on the stand about runs then?

Last year i got out in the MG6, an Abarth & a Honda Civic Type R - before it had its little arguement with the Jaguar stand!!!

How did you manage to get that booked?

Some have age limits.

I've got a drive in the ZR1 booked for the afternoon.
