Wow that would be awesome. A shame I don't live in the UK!

[amzamz]

I posted it here for our friends in the UK. It is not my intention to tease you, Reddingius! I am sure in the Netherlands you will find other opportunities... I thought there was a similar charity event ....

I think Fiona will be there .. She mentioned some time ago that it would be possible to get a ride in an Ariel Atom ..

... your cars? The Sebring AND the Beetle? Or do you bring more ? Did you buy a blue ribbon ticket for the Spyker ? Or, should I take you through the back streets? I think nobody knows about the Spyker yet, except in this forum here...

I also heard that there is no more Internet sale for the blue ribbon tickets! They made a cut after 80% have gone. The remaining 20% will be for sale on the day. Long queues I assume. I am really curious...

[fiona]

Just the Sebring and the Beetle. The Toyota is sick and the 550 Spyder isn't built yet.
I'm driving the sebring down there, Mark, my engineer friend, and his family will be driving the Baja.
I don't have a blue ribbon ticket or any ticket as I will no doubt be too busy filming all day. Fortunately I know most of these guys through Petrolhead Nirvana so get a chance to go for a run in their cars from time to time anyhow. Some of them even lend me their cars I would of course love a run in the Spyker, maybe at the end of the day when the public have gone.

I haven't spotted amzamz' Spyker yet, but there was also a Laviolette

[amzamz]

... correct. The Laviolette was #186 (not 187 as I previously posted by mistake). I am sure there may be more pictures soon. The event was really good. Quite many cars turned up, and the passengers were all very satisfied I assume. Driving around the circuit was fun, too. ... and all this actually for a good cause!
