Great news guys, would love to have you back and to anyone else, it's a great day out and we'd love to have a nice group of Pistonheads users along.
I've set up a discount code for you that will last until the end of May - put ' Pist123 ' into the discount area at checkout and you'll get a driver and car in for £20.00
Already more cars signed up this year than attended last year, so going to be a big one!

E-Tickets will be going out early next week so you'll have all arrival and departure info with that. There won't be a specific Pistonheads area, if we can get some more interest I can put one together. Lots of other car clubs and we're now confirmed to be working with some of the big car clubs (Porsche, Ferrari) for next year. But would be good to have a 'pistinheads' stand for sure!
Thanks for the kind words All. Have to say we've had the ability to be much bigger this year with 120+ cars on the Saturday and close to 200 on the Sunday. A good mix of classics, modern, German, US, UK and Japanese stuff. So it'll be action in the air and plenty to see on the ground.
I've had 2 Saturday drivers pull out but happy to leave their donation in, which means I have 2 'FREE' spaces for 2 cars on the Saturday thanks to the generosity of the two drivers. Only caveat is. Don't take them if you can't make it please. Arrival time is before 10:30 and departure is about 5:50. Apart from that first two people below that prove they aren't bringing their Morris Ital. Passengers are £10 each and we can sort out payment and tickets before the event.
For those already booked, Thanks for helping us as we've raised over £5,500 this year via the car show and close to hitting our a £20,000 since we started the car show 4 years ago.
Next year is going to be better than ever as we're also bringing back 'the roundel run' before the event next year which is a great little drive from Brooklands to Biggin Hill before the show. Also looking to introduce a driving arena when some cars car show off a little.

P.S. Anthony, I'm off to create 'Pistinheads' I think there's something there! Beer, Girls and Cars (not that I know much about any of those three things!)

I'll look into to Reece. The Lotus Forums link is that they allow us to host www.bigginhillcarshow.co.uk for free as it's a charity event. I've got them looking into it.
I'm sure we can get you in stormtrooper. The passenger will be £10, payable at the Car Show Tea and Coffee tent on arrival and all I need is your Name, Car Make, Model and Reg number and email address and I'll get the ticket over to you. If you have an interesting car then you are welcome, but we can't put your family Qashqai in the show ground and pretend it's a classic 
Email me the info at neilreed@mac.com now and I'll sort it out tonight.

The Pooh bear comment made me laugh, I won’t say on here why but that’s very close to my heart at the moment!
Can’t help on organising anything before you get there, my head is firmly focussed on making sure we get you all in safely! Although next year we’re looking to bring back a 2 hour run early in the morning from Brooklands to Biggin Hill which includes a stop at Let’s Race in Horley for an F1 simulator race.

Hi All, thanks for joining us. I try and do as much as I can to make it safe and fun on the day, from arrival, through to the tea and coffee availability and hope that comes across. I can't rectify the bits I don't control (such as the exit!) but we had a debrief today and the exit is a consideration for all and affects so many large events. But we'll see if we can change elements for ourselves next year.
My goal is to have a laugh with some people, have a great day and then hand some cheques out to some amazing charities so thanks to all those who contributed along the way. This year we were just shy of £8,000 in total for the 2 days. So very pleased and have some delighted charities. It's such a great airshow on top of all that, so if the car show ever stopped, I'd still be there as a punter (it would be much more relaxing!!!)
However, I'd love to see everybody and more back next year. And can't wait to look at some of the photos this evening. Apologies if I didn't catch up with everyone, but thank you so much for being part of it. Four years ago it was 50 cars in a field at the back, now its turning into a proper show in the centre of the airshow. Really proud of it and thanks for the support. Best Neil
