That McLaren F1 looks absolutely stunning.

In my opinion, the all-time greatest hyper car.

I have been to this many times before, complete Petrol Head Nirvana!

Anyway, I missed the moving motorshow last year.

Is that aspect worth going to? Is it much different from the other three days. How likely am I to get a blast up the hill in the Supercharged Aygo (I think thats what it was) from last year, etc etc...

I personally thought the Moving Motor show was a good idea & apart from the fact that the structure where the cars were housed was way too hot (hence someone fainted at the wheel & hit a couple of pedestrians) the idea worked very well.

I got to drive three cars up the hill myself & blagged a 'balls out' blast up the hill in the passenger seat of an Audi R8 V10!

A good idea which should be better this year assuming that they learn from the mistakes of 2010 (of which there were not many).

Last year was my first FoS. I realised when i had left on the saturday night just what i had missed over the past 10/11 years.

Going again this year - on my own so i can do what i want when i want!!!

Get there as early as you can!

WAYYYY too much to see in a day so you need to get there as it opens if you're gonna try

Good luck on the bus!!

I drove down on the Thursday morning & slept in my car (in the corner of a local farmers field) on Thursday night & was second in the queue on Friday morning to get back in.

Riggers, do you have any photos of any of my runs up the hillclimb in my Toyota Auris T3 per chance? It would just be nice to have one in the archive......

Many thanks!
