Edited to change Mike+11 to Sorepaws (Mike) +1 - can't get 12 in the NSX !

[Ewan]

Nice to see plenty of interest, folks :)

Just to iterate the "rules" - we have been invited for up to 12 cars and up to 18 people, free of charge...

8. Sorepaws (Mike) +1
9. NSXGB +1
10. Dragonlady +1
11. Duncan +1
12. NSX 2000 +1

reserve cars:
13. Andy 328 +1
14. Sam +1
15. Geraint +1

The first 12 cars also have 23 people, so we might have to say that Sorepaws onwards will only get 1 entry ticket.

I'll see if we can get any more tickets from the organisers - if anyone in the list above knows they don't want to go anymore, please amend your listing.

Ewan

[Geraint]

Just to iterate the "rules" - we have been invited for up to 12 cars and up to 18 people, free of charge...
Understood, thanks for the update :)

[Dragonlady]

This is going to be another great showing for the NSX. Hope the weather is as good as the past two years, it makes for a great day out.
See you all there.

Ian

[bernev]

Does this mean if we don't get one of the reserved tickets we can't put our car alongside the others and we have to slum it in some car park miles away?

[Dragonlady]

They are normally quite good and let all the good cars in, they did two years ago and we wern't even on the list.

[Ewan]

Yes, I'm sure we'll be OK for the cars to be displayed - I suspect they want to limit the numbers of cars to 12 per club, so they don't get over-run by hundreds of MX5s, MGFs etc, since they do let in quite a lot of not-exactly-supercars...

[sorepaws]

looks like 26th June will be a busy day

[Ewan]

OK, folks - we have 15 car passes, but only up to 18 entry tickets.

Looks like we have:


1. Ewan
2. Dave j +1
3. Chris B N
4. ollie (Steve) +1
5. Hagasan (Gary) + 1
6. charlie:one (Nigel) +1
7. senninha (Paul) + 1
8. Sorepaws (Mike) +1
9. NSXGB (Simon) +1
10. Dragonlady (Sharon & Ian) +1

car passes only (ie need to buy entry tickets)
11. Duncan +1
12. NSX 2000 (Paul) +1
13. 328 (Andy) +1
14. Ultraviolet (Sam) +1
15. Geraint +1

Those after Sorepaws, I'm afraid you're on for a car pass only and would need to buy your own ticket - £11 in advance on http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/store/event-tickets-2011/supercar-sunday.html or £13 on the day (if you're not sure you really want to come along :))

Now, if we do a group buy of 12 or more tickets, they work out at £8 each - so even though there are only 10 tickets in the last batch, if I can get commitment from all of you that you definitely want to go, then it will be slightly cheaper to buy 12 tickets for the lower price...

Let me know for sure by PM, everyone after Sharon & Ian, if you're up for doing that - ie if you can all commit to going and buying 2x tickets at £9.60 each, then I'll arrange the group booking. Otherwise, buy on the day or get in advance... :)

cheers
Ewan

(ie - 12 tickets at £8 = £96, but we only need 10 so they'd work out at £9.60 each)

[Dave J]

Hi Ewan,
Looks like my NSX has sold so i'd like to step aside from the list unless i can put a GTR on the stand :rolleyes: If any costs have been incured i'll happily pay my corner.
Dave.

[328]

Hi Ewan,

I am up for buying two tickets at £9.60 each. How would you like me to pay? paypal? or when I see you on the day....I dont mind.

Thanks for organising.

Cheers,

Andy

[Ewan]

thanks Dave - sorry to hear your NSX has sold (again ;))

Hi Guy's
looks like we are going to have another good one.
Are we organising meeting at one of the service areas and making a grand entrance in convoy style.
Would love this as I missed out on Japfest convoys having to be at Japfest before the rest of you.:)

Cheers Chris

[Andy]

Can we still join in on the day if we are not on the list?
Thanks
Andy (+1)

[sorepaws]

CONVOY

I think, as before, we should aim to meet at the M40 J10 Cherwell Valley Services @8:30am for 8:45am depart, with the intent of rocking up at Gaydon around 9:15-9:30.

If the weather is nice, I'd suggest heading up the B4100 from J11 - here (http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2.00&cp=52.07777451111962~-1.328798149093764&lvl=13&sty=r&rtp=pos.51.949683892200646_-1.2003646319323957_near%20Street%2C%20Ardley%20OX2 7%207___a_~v.52.082614033526795_-1.3705550528564392_B4100%20%2F%20Warwick%20Road~po s.52.189088088527036_-1.4755471891021598_near%20Street%2C%20Gaydon%20CV3 5%200___a_&mode=D&rtop=0~0~0~&form=LMLTSN&encType=1) - since it's reckoned to be a good road... (#8 in the top 10 driving roads in the UK, apparently).

Anyone who wants to gatecrash (ie doesn't have a car pass from the list above), it would be worth being part of the convoy then we could try to blag all the tickets at once.

cheers
Ewan

I don't think it's going to work out to get block tickets, folks - I'd advise that you either

a) Go ahead and book online to have them delivered to your own address
b) Buy at the gate (you never know, if the weather's filthy you might decide not to go :))
c) Try to blag them using sorepaws' recommendation, by registering as an individual exhibitor (http://www.supercarsunday.co.uk/display-your-supercar.html)

cheers!

Sounds like a plan. We'll be at the services in good time, hope a few can make it as in past years sounds like a nice little route.

Cheers Ian

[Senninha]

Any thoughts / takers to meet on route to the main meeting point coming from the South East.

J28 Brentwood M25 of interest? COuld pick up others around London Colney (and grab a coffee at MacDonalds) then onto the M40 main meet?

See you all tomorrow folks - my first car meet in quite some time :)

Oh - and I've sorted a car pass already, will just pay for passenger at the gate - hopefully can still park with you guys.

I'm not quite sure how the pass thing will work but my mate can't make it tomorrow (just found out now) so I will have a spare ticket for a "passenger" I know we have to collect them on entry. If you are at Cherwell services I may be able to sort something out? I have a Midnight Purple NSX, starts P5,,,

Gary

[Geraint]

Can't make this now, sorry chaps :(

Forecast looks good though, hope you all have a great day & please get some pics up :)

[NSX 2000]

Just leaving, see you at Jct 10.

Paul

PS I'll have a medium skinny latte :D

One hell of a day for it.

Enjoy.

Great to see such a good turnout. Thought rest of show a bit disappointing this year. Photo for you:

Nice pic :)

Was the Aston One-77 there as promised? Was it roped off / on display, or could the hoi polloi get up close & personal? What's it like in the metal/carbon?

cheers,

Thanks.

One-77 was there, not roped off, could get pretty close. Looks great in the metal, have seen it before though so didn't spend too long around it.

[328]

Hi Guys,


It was great to catch up with everyone!! Brilliant day.....shame there werent more cars....at least the company was good :)

See you guys at silverstone.


I have put some photos in the photo gallery...the is a couple of photos from the top of the building, which Nigel thought would be quite good.....though it wasnt too bad I did manage to get escorted off the roof top by security saying there was a private function on! lol :)


Cheers,

Andy

[duncan]

End of the day I was last man standing, my car and a fold up garden chair. I assumed the chair was from one of our number so saved it, please PM me to start the reuniting process.

[britlude]

well, the chair was behind mine but no other cars near us, so I thought it was yours..... :)
