Yes you will need a ticket or something, if you PM nomad he will give you the guys details its Paul something or other or maybe just do a search on the net.

Have to do it quick as there is limited space I believe.

Can anyone tell me what the deal is do we just drive there and park up have a look around enjoy the day, and are our vehicles on display as well?

First one for me so no idea - but think you have to be there by 10 and you cannot leave until 4.

Guess your car will be on display and you can stroll around looking at the other cars around.

You have to sign up to be able to be part of the display. Otherwise you'll need to find a car park

Probably need to be a bit earlier than that as it gets busy quickly !

I contacted the guy (Paul I think) to book a place and on his mail it said be there by 10 and leave no earlier than 4 with a 10mph speed limit.

Have no idea of what the hell it is meant to be.

Will be seeking advice from someone - eg do you have to take your cars to certain areas (All Brera's in one place etc etc)

[Gibbo]

There will be plenty of marshalls there on the day (Lynn and I included and probably EA too) who will point you in the right direction when you arrive. The roads get blocked of at 10 so best be there before or you won't get in even if you're registered. It becomes a pedestrian precinct after 10 you see We'll be there around 7'ish if last year is anything to go by

[SPPalfa]

Sugar thats an early start. guess I will have to be there for around 8.30

[Gibbo]

Yes it is an early start and a long day but more than worth it

[SPPalfa]

I bloody hope so - getting out of bed at that time of the morning, not natural on a weekend.
