Wilton House SW convoy.

[steve miami]

As its only 2 weeks until the 2012 Wilton House Supercar Event,
on Sunday 5th August, I thought it would be good to have a SW P/H's convoy.
I notice there are a few of us on the official P/H car park list already.
What do you think ?

Could you put a linky to the list - can't seem to find it. Thanks.

I'm still in two minds after the traffic jam on the A36 last year. I have my name down on the list and if the weather is nice again I'll probably head down. May try and plan an alternative route in this time though!

[steve miami]

After the queues to get into the P/H car park last year the gates will be open at 08.30. Instead of 10.00 o'clock (last year). So I guess we should meet at Exeter Services 07.30. Early ? Yes, but it will be worth it !!! Ive been for the last two years and it just gets better. Then collect people from Taunton Services 08.00. You can register your name on the P/H car park list via a link on the main post on the "events & travel" section.

8am on a sunday? think i'll give it a miss this year

[z4chris99]

im pretty sure i left taunton at 7 last year

[LancerG]

Maybe, maybe not

Ive seen all the cars several times, the traffic wont be great.

Convince me ........ whats new this year ?

[k22wes]

I think the same, I'm not going this year. Can't be bothered to sit in a huge traffic jam for almost 2 hours to see cars I saw the year before. It's turned into a show for kids and I don't do kids!
Would rather go for a hoon on a Sunday away from the crowds.

Hi all,

in terms of new things this year I will be brining along a Mk8 SRU Lynx to be on static display until 1500 then departing to carry out a flying display before returning to base.

I am offering access to the helicopter for a select few on the day if you are interested. There wont be general access to the public as for some reason, mainly kids, people have a habit of pulling things marked in black and yellow which invariably means bits fall off!

Be good to see you on the day...............

we know the Q's will be big but flying in is cheating a bit.

Hi Baz. If I do decide to go, it would be great to come and have a look at your chopper!!

Oh , dear me !!! Guy's , have a little faith ! After last year's queues, they are opening the gates ONE & A HALF hours earlier.
( I actually only waited for half a hour last year !)
Im planning on getting there for say 9ish. As ive been for the last two years I cant wait. We are promised even more classics , also several "Surprises" in the "Supercar" display. The P/H car park is almost as good as the show its self in some ways. Last year I was parked next to :- Noble's, Tvr's, Lotus &
M/Benz SLK , to name just a few.

What time are we meeting at Exeter services?

[LordHaveMurci]

Have added myself to the list for PH parking, haven't bought tickets in advance, that won't be a problem will it?

What time at Exeter services?

[LancerG]

Just went to add my name to the carpark list and im already on it !
how did that happen ?

Anyway - Wilton at 9.00am !! that will be an early start

[steve miami]

Its not necessary to buy tickets in advance, although I have. You can buy them on the day.
I know we have to meet early, but ive so enjoyed the previous two years of
"Wilton House Supercars". I think its goin to be worth it !! Im thinking of meeting at Exeter Services at 7.20am & leave at 7.30, as it's a 90 mile trip.
