Does anyone know if there will be blue badge parking/area for those with mobility issues? Bringing along my little girl who on wheels ??

If you head into the main car park for Mercedes-Benz World (opposite where we’ll be) there’s disabled parking there and there’s decent access to get across the road and down the ramp into our parking area. Any issues just grab one of our marshals!

I am helping out with marshalling (until I get too cold and in need of a coffee). As Ben said there are Blue badge spaces at the main entrance, we will be across the road and down a ramp, your choice as to which suits you better, just ask if you need help.

Will this all be done/ dusted by 10.30amish? My sons football is next door and ending then...might just pull the dust covers off...there's a lot of salt on the roads still....

There are usually still stragglers there at 1230-1300 so you would still have time for a decent look round and a coffee and pastry or two.

Due to the recent salt/rain combo I’m leaving my old M5 and Clio 200 in the garage and bringing my ‘97 V70 T5 shed. I’ll either park away from everything else so as not to let the side down, or park next to the most expensive thing I can see on arrival. Haven’t decided yet.

People usually start to think about heading out around that time, but with the museum at hand many will stay later, if you are in the vicinity definitely still worth popping along.

Many Volvo fans on here, especially a classic shape V70 T5!

For anyone who’s still not departed be aware of an unmarked blue BMW on the way in to Weybridge and marked car on the entrance to MB world.

I’m sure everyone’s behaved anyway!

Was this you, in 2012? If so, shame on you!

[Lordbenny]

Too wet, too salty…shame!

Don’t think you should be advertising where the popo are, this is a family event and people should behave, if they’re court tough. I saw something yellow had been pulled over by the very visible police car.

Then some c63 just left in a cloud of smoke from the car park. Bell end.

The curse of MB World strikes again. PH will be back in about 7 years I guess.

[HorneyMX5]

I thought it was mostly well behaved TBH. Great to catch up with folks.

[Terminator X]

Loved it myself, wonderful selection of PH owned cars.

The Alpines looked great, so much better in person vs pics.

TX.

Edit - shout out to that Lister, pulled away when i was stood next to it

Re-read what you’ve written. It’s a family event so better warning people to behave instead of the police being called because they’ve hit someone.

However the post above seems to suggest that it’s not bad driving that they were pulling cars for which is a positive. Certainly no bad driving witnessed by me whilst there.

You shouldn’t need a police car to know to behave at a family event.

Regardless of that, there were a few people launching past the car park where people were crossing, it’s just not needed.
