Sal

I'd love to say that there's room for 2 more on it, but we all know that I'd be telling porkies

Sorry

John

Do you know if it's possible to book a chopper ride in?

 

Just wanted to share with you all that I've just been given two freebie tickets for the GP, by a happy Client!

And I'm an estate agent (not bad huh?)

(Muppet's here i come!)

Russ

 

.....and while we're on the subject, we won two tickets for the GP!!!!

It's a good feeling eh Russ?

I'll be at home, on my super comfy sofa (not some wooden chair or standing), a few beers in hand (no need to drive home), watching the action at all parts of the track on my 50" screen, knowing exactly who's in the lead.

Then.. when it's over I'll get up and do something less useless instead (and not be stuck in 2 hrs of traffic jams)

God you're so lucky..

(PS. Had the opportunity to go, but passed it up)

I do.. (having been before) which is why I'm staying at home !

 

Oh and David Brown....

We will be in an air-conditioned, hospitality suite situated between the start & finish lines, over the pit-lane, with views from Woodcote down to Copse and also Brooklands to Luffield, with a huge flat screen tv showing the action and commentary from the bits we can't see Oh and did I mention the bar???

So nur

Sal

 

hehe, that told me..

Now if you're going to be commuting to/from the track by helicopter ( practically every field around my parents village has hospitality tents + chopper taxis for those wanting to avoid traffic ) then I might just be impressed

 

Scoobychick
Did you win the tickets from the WAP phone post that was on here.

 

Damn.....I want a refund, I <B><I>KNEW</I></B> there was something missing

Oh well.....can't have it all I suppose

David, any idea what time we leave to get there? It normally takes me about 1 hour to get to junction 15a, I was planning on leaving at 3am then having a kip in the car when we get there, we have parking passes.

 

David

That will be me then

I'll ask the chopper pilot to try to fly quietly.

 

I feel for you guys who are going, you'll have to do without ITV's intelligent and thought provoking commentary, you poor buggers.

Do you have anyone to go with scoobychick, cause if you're really stuck trying to give that 2nd ticket away, then Ill come with you, and you can buy me lunch to thank me

 

i'm in the copse vip hospitality suite (apparently). Anyone know if this is any good - or is it a patch of field with a table and a couple of plastic seats ???

 

Jer

Yes, well my boyfriend did He had to buy a wap number and was then automatically entered into the draw, it was the best twenty quid he's ever spent IMHO

Sal

 

Fat Boy

You got room for two more in your chopper????

It was quite a giggle as a child. The local kids would get free rides to the track at closing time (the helicopter only being full FROM the circuit, and empty TO the circuit)

Although their parents would have to brave the traffic to collect them !

 

Oh Well, tho i only got "peasant tickets" and don't get to listen to Tony "stating the bleedin' obvious" Jardine, it should be cool.

Mind you, after the Goodwood Festival last weekend, when you could almost reach out and pat the drivers on the head, they're going to look a bit small in the distance!

Good luck in the VIP box - you're more than welcome to come and sit outside on our blanket if you get bored!

Try:

 

I'll be there in the Vale Corner hospitality box (a corporate gift from a vendor that I deal with)with a couple of mates; anyone else in there?
We will be avoiding the traffic (apparently) by taking an "overland safari" from Turweston Aerodrome.

Hopefully I'll get there in one piece (if I'm not eaten by a tiger or something).

Neil.

 

Cheers for those addys David but at 400ish quid a go for a chopper ride in I'll stick to the four wheels on the ground method of getting in even if it does mean getting up at some unearthly hour

Still, I'm not driving so at least I can kip in the car whilst queueing for hours to get in

 

Yeah but you've got the posh tickets! Is there parking for all or is it a bus ride in?

Never been before...!

Rus

 

Come on guys, it's just a set of oversized go-karts. Sorry, go-karts are more fun, they don't have traction control.

 

Anyone want to meet up on race day and compare the size of helicopters? I'll be driving with clients (please be nice to them Sal. Oh and I've got you infield parking!!)

RussP

You'll proberly have Public Car tickets which will mean a bit of a trudge. Were are you going to pitch your blanket?

Mark

 

Mark

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!!!!!!!! Woohoo

Oh boy am I excited now

BTW of course I'll be nice to your clients

Sal

 

Hi Russ, I was really surprised to see your post on the Hoverclub BBS!!!!! Fancy being a fellow Hovercraft fan and scooby nut! I hear the Lydd meet has been cancelled!
