Sorry I wrote a huge rant earlier and its disappeared. I'm absolutely gutted but I won't be taking part now. I will be there as a spectator with my lovely MR2 as a complete waste sat out in the public car park.
It's my own fault, I was prioritising finances and I pushed the Silverstone tickets down the list in favour of a wheel referb and so then I couldn't afford tickets. I live a few miles up the road and have a few contacts at Silverstone. They wangled me a pass for the weekend but couldn't get me a car pass as the event is not run by Silverstone but an independent events team. I called the events team, said I had won some tickets to the event for the weekend but wanted to get my car in so that it could go on the MK1 display. They were completely unhelpful and uninterested. Said even if I paid for a pass their are no more passes being issued. I pointed out there is space for my car within the owners club and she just riled me even further by saying your welcome to park your car for free in the public parking and can 'walk in and see your friends'.
As I say can only blame myself really, don't pay the money and expect the world I guess so have to look to next year. Shame as its the only MK1 meet of the year that's within sesnsible reach for me and its wasted now. Hacked off is a mild way of putting it!
I couldn't attend this, as I am working.
But the two guys I'm working with on Friday, want to go Silverstone to see the classic cars!!! Get in! So I'm going for free!!
Woo, no more sleeps!
See you all down there later.
Cheers,
Tom
