RE: British GT Sunday Service 11/06

Great day yet again and thanks for the free tickets :-)
I was there in my orange gt86. Strange that you never seen one on the road usually and then they all come out the wood work for ss!
Favorite car has to be this k20 supercharge exige. Had a nice chat with the owner and makes me miss my old supercharged civic type r.

A great day thank you Pistonheads
Great selection of cars
Pleased to see a Citroen AX GT only 38 left running in uk

This over took me driving home. Thought it must have come from Silverstone once I noticed the smiley on the back.
Great to see one still out and about :-)

Great day out, kids loved it and I even managed to offload them before the start of the GT race, yaay! Fave car of the day was the fabulously patinated Muira tucked away in the corner, closely followed by the 993 GT2.

A special mention must go to the road registered XJR-9, gloriously bonkers!

Fantastically diverse range of cars and people.

Massively appreciated, nice one PH

Another great Sunday Service and some brilliant racing as well.

I felt a bit out of place parking my big black Disco 3 in the middle, and it looked even more out of place when we finally left as one of the last cars in the car park...

As always, there were some great cars in the PH lot, and the supercar display was also very good!

Thanks to all that organised it! Looking forward to the next one!

Also would like to say a massive thanks to PH for organising this. First Sunday Service and really enjoyed it. Couldn't tear my GF away from the Aston Martins and she has been banging on about schemes to help her get her hands an a DB9 ever since!

Have to say I was quite disturbed by the pace on the modified blue Scirocco! Apologies I forget the name of the PHer who was driving but that level of acceleration plus the plumes of black smoke coming out the back made for an interesting experience sitting behind you on the motorway!

Looking forward to the next one

I know the feeling my little Hyundai coupe looked so out of place , looks nice just not the power to match unfortunately very in-pistonheads

My first Sunday Service! Really enjoyed it and will be back for more.
Great to see lots of GT86s - first time at a meet with mine and it gathered quite a bit of interest even though I was parked away from the main 86 contingent (owners group outing? You all seemed to arrived together)

I'm really annoyed that I had to miss this, looks like another's good event.

I'm sure that I saw that GT8 driving through Ealing about a week ago. Looked and sounded great.

Thanks Lance, we do indeed live out that way.

Hopefully we didn't wake you up at 6.30am Sunday morning when I tried and failed to start it quietly to head up to Silverstone (in my defence it only has two settings "loud" and "uber-loud" . )

[FairfieldSteve]

Any videos?

[lucido grigio]

There's a vid on YouTube of a London bus on track during a practice session of the GTs.

Search Silverstone Safari.

It's all I could find.

I quite liked it too.

The interior was incredible, photos anyone? I'm guessing that was very, very expensive.

Looked like a great day out

I had a little play with the exige on the way home, as much as I could! Thought it was a k20sc from the speed and noise! It was a fair bit quicker than my car unsurprisingly! ha ha! Was fun though!

[Benja_Exige]

Yup the grey S1 Exige with the SC Honda engine conversion is my machine. I've had it for 14years and I absolutely love that car. I also enjoyed our little (pretty restrained I thought) play on the way back to the M40.

Good job PH, me and my lad had a great morning.

I was admiring your S1 Exige too, was hoping to grab a few pictures with my Sprint parked in the row behind, but never saw you to ask.

Yes unfortunately I had my eldest son with me so I had to keep it reeled in! But we enjoyed it anyway! Your exige is lovely!
