Did you manage to get on the list, Terry :?:
I see they have increased the numbers from 200 to 300, not on list no entry.
There are also 255 on the reserve list :shock:

Must have blinked and missed this one, all slots gone, by the time I saw it :?

Yes Simon. We are No. 269

We have been on the waiting list until today and finally got a slot this afternoon :D

It is PistonHeads, so you will always get a different mix of cars. Even at a BMW event.

You could still come, as there are bound to be spaces. There last event at Goodwood only two thirds bothered to turn up on the day. It will probably be the same this time.

LMAO :lol: I am so sorry Brian. Yes another senior moment I am afraid. But in my defense it was very late and I was about to turn in for the night.

To be honest anybody could of turned up today and got in. BMW staff were on the gate and not checking anybody. Just security staff directing you where to park. So the whole list thing was somewhat superfluous. Loads of room.

Not a bad day if you enjoy parking in a multi story car park. Majority of the outside space was taken up by BMWs own cars. :?

Still.....The endless supply of tea, coffee and bacon rolls was very nice. Must of cost them a small fortune :shock:

I forgive you, Terry :wink: :lol:

Glad you enjoyed the day.
Hope to make the next Essex meet, if the wind doesn't blow the bridge down :(
