    Its a great day out, you get loads of complementary tickets and free lunch! Kids or no kids come on, lets out number the lotus sevens and westfields!
    Regards
    Nick

    Hi Basher that would be great!!
    The event is on for two days for each day you are there you get 4 tickets valid for a year, plus obviously VIP passes for the day. You also get lunch and access to everything going. The display area will be fully locked off from the public.
    You have to be there by 10:00 am.
    Before though, I need reg number and a full name to pass onto the Legoland staff.
    Look forward to seeing you, last year it was great fun, this year there will be the Caterhams and some Aston Martins.

    Can you PM me the details please?

    Kind regards

    Nick

    It was a great two days, my thanks to Basher with his Gallardo and Maz with his 360 for bringing their cars along. We where really lucky with the weather and managed to get two whole days with no rain. I was up till midnight cleaning my car and its engine bay.
    On the Saturday there were 10 Caterhams & Lotus 7s, 3 Aston Martins (DB2, DB6 and Race prepared V8) and Maz’s 360 and my 308.
    My hat to Maz who let simply 100’s of children sit in his car; and rev it up; and honk that horn! I think between us every child in Legoland sat behind the wheel of a Ferrari. Notable events were the noisiest car competition, when the guy in the 40 year old DB6 red lined his from cold I really did believe it was going to explode!

    On the Sunday, Basher bought along his stunning Gallardo. So we had, 13 Caterhams & Lotus 7s, 4 Astons (Vanquish, DB6 , DB9 and a Vantage) and my GT4.
    Bravely Basher locked his up and left it with me :eek: you can guess what the reaction was from the 10s of 1000’s of people that poured past when they saw it there. Later on, even that had kids sitting behind the wheel.. there was one moment of panic, when the handbrake was knocked off and the car lunged forwards..

    Anyway, my thanks to them both for coming and keeping me company.

    Anyway pictures below.

    Just for the record.... the caterham guys didn't let anyone near their precious cars.

    The funniest thing was the amount of mother's who said they would let anyone's kids into car if they had Ferrari ... this whilst pushing their beloved into my drivers seat. I did however wince a couple of time as the kids kicked the door panel on the way out !

    Had a good day though, thanks to Nick for arranging.

    Yes mate, there were some very bizzare people there, like the man who watched lovingly as his son rifled the small change from my ashtray. As the orghanisers say, most people leave their brains at the way in!
    The best story is the one of the couple who turned up with an empty baby buggy and a blanket, and tried to steal one of the lego children. They were really supprised when stopped by security, apparently all lego models have trackers fitted.
