Clearly not content with selling tickets for the event. The organisers are selling tat!

But as for tat goes, their posters do look very good. Nice illusion of speed and a fair size too at A2. Hang on a light blue wall.

Just received an email this minute about us being moved to the GT, Performance & Sports Car Show and we have to print out a new pass allowing us in to Gate B.

So we have been bumped out of the way then. I wonder where the fb crew are.
How many of us are going?

Gate B is still on the runway side of the road, so I’m not sure it’s a big issue.

We should arrange to meet so that we can arrive in convoy like we did last time. Having googled the thread from last year, the arrangements were as follows: (Is there a need to arrive at 8.30am still)?

Ok, so we need to arrive at 8.30am. I would suggest the idea of Riverside Retail Park is the best one. It’s a 10 minute drive to the show from there so assemble 8 am, leave at 8.15

Riverside Retail Park

Marquee Dr, Northampton NN3 9HY

Co-ordinates are (52.2438885, -0.8363916) for those using Maserati sat nav

upper.placed.rescue if you are using what 3 words

That car park is now totally FUBAR, so let me figure something else out.

Mcdonalds will be fine at that time of the morning or just park to the left in front of kfc as they are not open.

OK but based on last year's 45min queue should the leaving be 8.30 and try the opposite end of the airport?

long since sold out sadly. If you make it over you could jump in with someone as the tickets are per car.

The traffic was fine until we were 400 yards from the entrance and then rubbish. Maybe try from the other direction this year.
