Hi All,

Just a quick gloat really, we have tickets for this coming Wednesday, wondered if anybody on here has been before (I'm sure loads of you have!), any tips on how early to arrive, do we need to take food etc?

After seeing tonight's episode, we're very much looking forward to it now!

And before anybody asks, no, we don't have any spare tickets....

Cheers,

The Maser
(not the Moose).

Arrive early, they "over sell" the tickets incase of no shows, when I went they turned away 50+ cars!! Not so bad if you're local but a real bummer if you've come far.

Good advice, cheers.

We'll be up at the crack of a sparrows then....

2 1/2 hour drive for us, so wouldn't want to miss out.

See you on the google box on Sunday then!

Can I ask how long ago you requested tickets?

I have no idea, but about 5 / 6 years ago I think, going on where I've lived for the past three years. I actually logged in to re-apply about two months ago, checked my email and 'phone details, which were both long out of date, so they could have actually tried to contact me earlier and not been able to get through!

Be prepared for a LONG day on your feet.

I went several years ago and left at 6pm when they were only really half way through.

Yeah - long day standing up, and it will be hot too if the weather forcast is anything to go by so take some bottled water.

Right, really good show this week chaps, although I'm not going to give anything away!

You may see me and Mrs Maser standing behind an orange Lambo, and my friend's GF standing to the right of the score board (next to May).

Well recommend the show, was v. funny!

You're right, lots of standing up, but we're young and relatively fit and healthy, so wasn't too bad. Bloomin' hot though, glad to be dished out bottled water by James May (what a sweety!).

A really good day out, if you aren't on the list already, get your name down!

So is it true that the Lambo matched the Enzo's time round the track?

Looking at the SV and it's vital statistics, it should be as fast as the Enzo, I'd be suprised if it wasn't. After all just a humble little Fiorano matches the Enzo.
