RE: BMW UK Sunday Service 17/09

I agree this would be a nice idea to line up the //M5's
Looking at around 15-16 cars at the moment so whether this is
Physically possible given the parking arrangements who knows.

Worth an ask though.

As there’s 15 or so would make sense to have a floor of the multi storey.

However if they were grouped together I’d probably ignore them, what’s nice about PH Sunday services is variety. You see it a lot at Goodwood breakfast clubs those who turn up as a group generally get overlooked.

Well this is frustrating. Missed this post yesterday and the reserve list is now almost as long as the attendees list
Not even worth signing up unless every single person on the attending list drops out. fk

Doubly frustrating as I only live 2mins from the BMW offices! It's about the closest there has ever been a PH meet to me

Just walk round if it's only 2 mins away!

This was booked up within a couple of hours.

Arghhhhh.... I didn't notice this quick enough to get in the main list! And I've just recently got a 2012 760Li !!!!

I remember the previous event there in 2010. Was very cool to see the Lark Mc F1 and Charlie Boorman's bike in reception.

Finger's crossed enough people drop out the main list.....

.... is there any cut off time in the day after which if people have not turned up their slots are relinquished??? I'm only a few miles away...

[sahajesh]

Is there a problem with car sharing, ie I will come on my own but can bring one or two people who missed the list.

Not taking the piss here but if it helps others and they can park somewhere else. Of course if every car had loads of people, the venue would fill up fast.

Signed up the other day
See you there :-)

Made it - shame I've sold the 540i but now have the Exige - got to find some nice roads for the way back!

If you have any suggestions let me know! (But in northern direction!)

I'll be heading back SE I'm afraid, likely working my way over some roads down toward the S. Downs National Park and back to SE London via Hindhead to give the Larini a workout

For very nearby road, the whole area east of Farnborough between the A31, A331 and B3012 and A322 are fun. I cycle these regularly and drive them often. Mostly suited to nimble cars like lotus, less so for large GTs.

Of course, depending how "north" you mean, I highly recommend the Bonar Bridge to Laxford Bridge road - I reckon this is the quickest east coast to west coast route in the whole of the UK (I managed under 1 hour recently).

F*cking work means I miss registration again.

The one event I wanted to go to and I'm 450+ on the list!

I'm pretty sure last year a few people offered out their spare seats to passengers given how popular this event was.

Therefore I'll be the first – if anyone didn't make the cut and wants to come with me from Sevenoaks area let me know! Just be aware it'll be a very early start and you'll be there for the whole event...

Check the south coast forum I’m trying to organise a convoy from wickham possibly some spare seats if people join in.

[sahajesh]

Spare seats available from South Yorkshire, will be an early start though!

I'll be the first to ask... is this event going to have loads of people attending who aren't even PH members let alone one of the lucky 250 on the list?

I really wanted to go to this but no chance of getting on the list now!

Hopefully they tick names off the list on the gate.

I've not witnessed this at any other PHSS including Goodwood (which was meant to be very limited spaces).

I'm not having a pop at PH by the way. I appreciate it's hard to police this sort of thing whilst remaining a free event. It's just frustrating when you don't go as you're not on the list and I know others attend who aren't even on PH!

I thought Goodwood was one of the larger venues. Honda was 50spaces last time IIRC

Usernames are checked off at entry to most PH events.

Having been to about 8 events only once at Silverstone have I had my car ticked off the list.
