Longleat House & Safari - 29/09/13 - Pride & Joy 2!
Discussion
Earlier this year we brought PH'ers Pride & Joy at Beaulieu! As seen here-> http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Now here’s another event for everyone orchestrated by us that we've been quietly putting together! Longleat House & Safari!
It’s very much aimed as a family day out with Longleat’s own facilities making for the IDEAL family day (Perfect opportunity to bring wives/girlfriends, as well as the kids!) – There is frankly enough to keep everyone entertained! To give you an idea on exactly what we mean...Here's a tiny breakdown of what's on offer!

http://www.longleat.co.uk/explore/longleat-house
We have been given permission to enter Longleat before it opens. This allows us to have an exclusive photo opportunity of ours cars outside the magnificent Longleat House. This is not normally allowed, so it will be something quite special. This is limited to 100 cars so you need to confirm to save your space. The photos will be taken by Nick Williams, who is the official Audi UK Photographer.
We will then have a great location overlooking the lake and House for us to park our cars and have a huge picnic at lunchtime.
Longleat are putting on a one off animal show for us on the day. They will let us meet some of their animals and reptiles and be able to have a photo taken if you wish. They are also giving us the sole use of two trips in their Safari buses on the day - This would normally cost £600 per bus trip but we have managed to get them for a small charge of £4 each per person (That way you can save your car from the animals!) This is limited to 140 spaces and I have paid for these in advance to secure them. You will be able to collect and pay for the tickets for the bus on the day. Details of where to pay will be handed out via a leaflet as you arrive. Longleat will have their own buses running on the day but to go on the trip with your fellow members will make it extra special.
Racing Green – Bringing their FFF Tuscan, E-Type AND others
Jaguar – F-Type plus other vehicles.
Brookspeed International – Champion Ferrari & Porsche race cars.
Bentley – Bentley GTC & GT
SuperVettura – Koenigsegg CCX and Zonda F
Supercar Showroom – Cars to be confirmed.
Mercedes-Benz - GL63 AMG ( This is a new model and has only just gone out on the road) & CLS63 AMG Coupe
JHW Classics - Jaguar XJ220 (one of only 281 ever made)
AS AN EXCLUSIVE FOR US ON THE DAY ALL of the above dealers have agreed to allow us to raffle of a passenger ride to people on the day in these stunning cars. This will be something of a sight to see all of these great cars together in a convoy going out and as far as I know not been done before !!
We are in touch with other supercars/marques/dealerships & currently in talks with them, once confirmed they will be added to this thread as part of the lead-up to the event.
We will also be holding the BEST PRESENTED CAR IN SHOW competition for a cup and AutoGlym Cleaning kits.
I also have the pleasure in telling everyone that Steve Bell who is a multiple "Best Of Show " Concours award winning detailer including Salon Prive who is from The Ultimate Detail Co is going to do a FREE ENGINE DETAIL for one very lucky person on the day. All he asks is for the lucky person to make a donation for our chosen charities on the day. Check out the fantastic work that he does http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&...
On top of the main raffle for the rides in the Dealers cars we will also be holding another raffle for some great prizes.

Hi All I am very pleased to announce that we have 25 Mustangs joining us for the day.
That will be a great sight to see.
Please can everyone make sure that you use the link to pay for this as it is the only way to get the reduced prices into Longleat.
If you can put a post to confirm payment that would be really appreciated as this will also confirm and hold your photo and bus spaces. Thanks so much.

Hi there!
Just to clarify... Do you want us to post here to confirm or is posting in the diary enough?
Thanks!
Hi It would be handy to have it posted on the thread of payment sent as I will 100% confirm your photos and bus spaces that I am holding for everyone that have put it down on the calendar. We will be using the calendar to monitor numbers reserved for the bus as you do not have to pay for that until on the day. Hope this makes sense to everyone.Just to clarify... Do you want us to post here to confirm or is posting in the diary enough?
Thanks!
That's a shame Lisa, What car are you getting, or is it a surprise?
As long as you are still going and have fun.
(you will have to bring your new car to the next one!!)

Put name down on the list and added for pics, didnt add for the bus though and should have, (driving through the park in the Rush probably isnt a good idea!!!)
So, pics and two bus tickets please.
no worries, you should be able edit your entry on the calendar (I think),So, pics and two bus tickets please.
If not you should be ok as they allow cars with no roof or screen, in but you must have raw meat in front of the driver
I told my dad he should drive! I loved my mum!
And if you own an Audi TT
look at this

Don't worry it wont delete you, then just edit at will then update.
In all seriousness there is a gentleman coming that has already said that he will take his koenigsegg through the monkey enclosure!! now that has got to be the photo opportunity of the decade.
