This evening I have been lucky enough to get tickets for tomorrow. Apparently it's the Ascot/ Wimbledon of motoring, dahling. Taking my mini GBs for pix. :-) Jen

Jen - l've been there three times now - not wiv a car though!!! lol. l used to work with adults with physical disabilaties and escorted a lovely young man and his wife,both deaf and dumb.His mum would come as well and we had a ball.He knows Derek Bell and would get me charging over to the mechanics areas looking for him.When he saw him he would go absolutely potty. Derek was wonderful with him. You'll hear him if he's about - say Jude sends her love if you see him:o))) Have a great time,its brilliant.Oh yeh last time l went, l took video of Jenson Button with this chap - guess what, l accidently deleted it!!!!!:o(((( Jude sarf wales

Thanks Jude, sounds fab, will look out for your peeps. I don't even drive but I like shows and exhibitions etc, and love the styling of classic cars and bikes. :-)))) Jen

Oh Jen Bikes yes I love them, although I have to be in cars these days (I don't drive either) I love the motorbikes, loved my Honda 125 :-))) I am too small for the big bikes but as a passenger on Goldwings and other serious machines they are so beautiful, they are sublime, how on earth could a car be called that lol. NEVER....enjoy yourself I bet you will. Bikes are of the styling variety cars are only of interest if old and BIG lol. although old mini's turn my head. Pat x

Jen, would love to go but too far away. Love cars of all ages, the faster the better. Can watch the videos of the old Grand Prix for hours. Pat, a mate of mine in Spain has a Gold Wing, 6 cylinder, 1800cc - what a machine. Derek

Hi Pat and Derek, going soon! I love the bikes best too, old Nortons, Triumphs etc. Old cars like Spitfires are my fave but I'll be seeing all kinds of lovely machines today :-) Jen

Been there, done that, couldn't afford the t-shirt, lol! Nice machines though, motoring art exhibition fab, got Stirling Moss's autograph n photo. Mini bears on Ferrari & an American Indy racing car coloured Pink! :-) Jen

Have a wonderful time Jen. It sounds like my sort of thing. Just don't mention America and grand prix in the same breath after last weekend:)) OOPS - sorry - just realised that you have already been

Hi Jen Glad you had a good time. Did you see some Nortons and Triumphs? I love them too. Oh Derek, I just love Goldwings the Rolls Royce of Motorbikes. Its really crazy as I have always loved motorbikes, hubby doesn't like them at all :-( he isn't into cars either, but he loves Trains and i can't see anything so great about them, accept when I need to catch one. lol. Pat x

Jen - did you hear him, he would have been in a wheelchair with his mum pushing??:o)) Glad you had a good time, its fascinating seeing all the motors hurtling round the track:o)) jude sarf wales

Hi Chrissie & Pat It was fab, cloudy though so no Red Arrows :-( Free tickets so wasn't obliged to stay to get vfm! Saw loads of cool cars, not enough bikes as they were preparing to race, then racing while I was there. Would have liked to have seen them 'in the paddock' so to speak. Hunted high and low for pink race car and found one, yay! xx Jen (Desmond Dekker blaring on the way)

Desmond Dekker :-))) Love him to the max lol. You do have such good taste Jen. Pat x

Hi Jude, thanks for your concern on other thread. x :-) Missed your guy this time somehow lol, but texted my biker chick friend to say 'ha I'm here vroom vroom', only for her to ring me just as I'd got into car to get lift home. BUT she lives 300 miles away, she shoulda told me she was coming! Great day though, think I prefer smaller events (rox on the prom in bognor, yay) Pat - ;-* xx Jen
