Pre '66 Saloons - British GP Support - Page 11

There will still be plenty of spectators around to see your race guys. some will leave but even if 50% remain, that's 45,000. You'll only get a bigger crowd at Goodwood.

A lot of F1 fans stay back now as they go to the concert to see Lewis, Jenson & DC up on the stage with one or two others. The F1 drivers are up there interviewed between the two bands. Let's face it, they can't get in the F1 paddock now to see their heroes - unless you have the correct pass

- so seeing them at this party is the nearest they get.

Don't get me wrong, if the car and me were eligible I would have entered, and if accepted would have put up with the "grief "on such a big occasion. Its just that I wouldn't go to watch !

zefarelly · 29 Jun 2008, 16:14 (Ref:2239774)

all you've got to do is change tyres and take a few stickers off!

just serviced my car, fitted the 2L EFi precrossflow and 5 speed sequential box, just got to fill up the NOS tank and hand cut some retro zig zag treads in the 245/40 18 Brisdgestones and we're ready to rock

I even washed the transit this morning !

Coming to this one quite late. I haven't seen the tickets etc yet but have rented a motorhome. What is the story with that? Will they just let it in or we need a special pass for it?

zefarelly · 29 Jun 2008, 18:00 (Ref:2239843)

Roger

I've asked everyone and got absolutely nowhere . . . quite what everyones supposed to do all weekend is beyond me, motorhome or not

invite people to race 2 weeks before the event and not even allowing camping, what the **** do they expect everyone to do, the whole event, every hotel, B&B, and campsite for miles has been sold out for ages.

I'm going to do what I originally planned and argue to the death IF anyone questions it!

terence · 29 Jun 2008, 18:04 (Ref:2239849)

Everything should be waiting for you Roger,best get the Motorhome up there asap,spaces tend to start being taken very early in the week,not always the ones designated either

Tent up at dusk, tent down at dawn

To be fair, he only needs a 4ft fence putting up if he doesn't want to see us

zefarelly · 30 Jun 2008, 12:29 (Ref:2240409)

if he wore his wifes heels he wouldn't see over!

good plan Dan, except it goes up Thu and comes down Monday, and its not a tent!

we're travelling in like this . . .

Roger, you told me ......don't you remember?

You're a Cortina owner so you can park it between the pit garages and the trucks.

zefarelly · 30 Jun 2008, 13:31 (Ref:2240464)

Roger have you not been allocated the Super Aguri garage

rogerwills · 30 Jun 2008, 14:56 (Ref:2240515)

I believe they've said I can park where the red cars are so plan to head straight for the Ferrari garage with my Dagenham Dustbin. We are putting the finishing touches on a nice prancing horse on the front - I'm sure they will never notice!

zefarelly · 30 Jun 2008, 15:31 (Ref:2240544)

turn up off your trolley on reindeer pi** and they'll think your a team driver

Good Times · 30 Jun 2008, 16:22 (Ref:2240586)

Could someone present a link to see practice & race result's please.

delta · 30 Jun 2008, 19:43 (Ref:2240751)

I am supposed to be making some new brake and clutch pedals for a very promanant F1 team tech director so i am hoping i can park my 20 year old motor home behind their pit. " what do you think Terrance "

delta · 30 Jun 2008, 19:47 (Ref:2240762)

Zef thats brilliant.We followed an a Anglia on a trailer onto the Ferry this afternoon if you could use that Bernie might think you are Harry Potter.

I'm sure you'll not have any difficulty getting in there Iain,go for it.

rogerwills · 1 Jul 2008, 04:12 (Ref:2241092)

Weather forecast looks miserable - rain Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

terence · 1 Jul 2008, 04:29 (Ref:2241098)

In that case we get to watch an interesting GP,but then again-------------
There is still time for the forcasters to change thier minds Roger.

delta · 1 Jul 2008, 05:10 (Ref:2241105)

If it is wet then that wil help me in the Westminster.

zefarelly · 1 Jul 2008, 06:18 (Ref:2241120)

me too, I might even cut some treads in my slicks and eat loads of food for traction

delta · 1 Jul 2008, 06:34 (Ref:2241123)

I have been told i am not to beat Jim in his Galaxie." pardon"

You'll be sitting in the boot then!

zefarelly · 1 Jul 2008, 07:18 (Ref:2241148)

don't really have that problem in my car, as the tanks in the right place and its usually got far too much in it . . . 19Litres when I checked it yesterday, thats after Snetterton 40 minute race!

terence · 1 Jul 2008, 07:24 (Ref:2241155)

Possibly time for a consumption check then?
