Silverstone Sunday Service Report

Silverstone was a success, so who’s up for the next one?

---

Thanks to all the pistonheads who turned up at Silverstone for an impromptu Sunday Service last weekend, making it such a memorable event. Go to www.pistonheads.tv/clip1330 and check out some of the highlights.

Pistonheads attends the Team Damax Ascari fans forum

Hundreds of you turned up at our designated paddock parking with an impressive collection of metal. Everything was on display from TVR Tuscan 2 Convertibles to an Alpina B10, an R34 Skyline and a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach1.  Don’t worry, we’re still trying to find the person responsible for bringing the Citroen Xsara Picasso….

Pistonheads car park was crammed full of precious metal

Thanks and congratulations must also go to Team Damax Ascari. The fourth pistonheads fans forum took place in Team Damax’s garage just hours before the British GT race, giving us access to both the KZ1R and team drivers Ollie Bryant and Phil Keen. Ollie and Phil then went on to finish seventh, earning the team some vital points.

If all goes to plan, we should organise another similar meet for round nine of the British GT at Thruxton on the 26^th August. Look forward to seeing you there.

Lucky bugger...

The black Lotus Exige in the picture, anyone know who owns it now. That was my first brand new car.

Hey Folks.

What is this list that you talk about?

I was meant to be at Silverstone but my Saturday night went tits up and spent most of it at a hospital, so unfortunately I couldn't go and stitched up a mate.

But I'd love to go to the Thruxton one as it's only an hour down the road.

I'll keep checking back.

Garlic, that was my 964 I believe my GF spoke to you and tried to pass it off as her own? She may have explained but anyway to recap, the car was originally registered in Germany in March 1991, but was imported to the UK in September 2001. Due to a mix up at the DVLA they registered it as if brand new and it's ended up on a "51" registration.

This often proves confusing to blokes in petrol stations that always come up and talk about it, and of course eagle eyed PH types!

I did wonder- the 964 is my favourite Porsche and to see one on a 51 plate was certainly confusing.

I can only imagine the nightmare it will cause you when you come to sell it, that and the police thinking you're running false plates all the time!

Thanks Paul, although I think your Z4 would certainly keep up with it.

I always carry my documents just in case the Police did take any interest. Other than that it only proves a minor annoyance when getting online insurance quotes and they insist that it must be a 996!

Cool review!

Note to self - next time anyone puts a microphone infront of you make sure you're not eating a sausage sandwich.

Do we just turn up at these events or do we have to get on list of somesort?

[Shellz_Mach1]

Cool video and story. Looking forward to the next day out.

Also great to see my car on screen and if she's the one getting a mention in the piece above (unless there was another Mach 1 there), she's a '73, not a '69. But don't worry, you've just tripled her value!!
