Yes ive just been reading that. On the news this morning it said there was a 10 mile que of people trying to get in to silverstone, with a waiting time of at least 5 hours :-o better have breakfast at supper time if the weather doesnt pick up drastically (

 

[Boysie]

Like all of us watching the weather :rain( :ub)
Are there contingency plans if we cant get into silverstone
Can it be cancelled?

 

[z3cade]

I will probably try and get there for when the gates open at 7am at this rate

Slightly different number of people trying to get there this weekend though

I also suspect for us there will be 2 waves...the cars involved.... Then the spectators.

Snoops ont'apatalk

"THERE'LL ALWAYS BE A HORWOOD,
IF TORRENTIAL WIND AND RAIN,
MIGHT SPOIL OUR PLANS FOR SILVERSTONE,
IT'S THERE WE WILL REMAIN!" :ymhug:

Nice one Mike, that's the spirit! :ymapplause:

Yes and I'm going to drink it there too!!! )

 

[z3cade]

I'm sure we will be fine but like you say we always have Horwood fest if not

 

[Titan]

Why don't we just have our own fest at Horwood?
Think of the advantages:-
We already have our own car park
We can arrange vehicles as we please
No need to rush breakfast
And no traffic problems.

I just can't figure out the parade lap .....

How about a lap round the M25?

I'd have thought you'd have made it rhyme, Titan.

We need a second verse! ) (See 4 posts up from yours :-^ )

Will you invite your new mates from the Austin Healey Club, because they'll be all dressed up with nowhere to go too! :-bd

F1 fans criticise Silverstone for turning away cars.

Anns son in law at gp today,hes rung us up 9.15 this evening and they are still in park two because theres over a hundred cars up to there axles near the exits, and some been damaged by trying to pull them out,he says its like a bomb site and its not stoped raining very heavy since 5 oclock,the parks are to bad to walk on in lots of places.

 

[Boysie]

There is no way i am even attempting to drive on a muddy field

 

[pete59]

Now hes home he said the ruts on all the show areas are a Foot deep!Its going to take a lot of sun to dry the grass areas out.some cars had bumpers ripped off being towed out and thats your risk!.I cannot think anyone will risk a expensive classic on a swamp,the forcast is no change leading up to the event,i was trying to make at least one day but i am not going to put us or my car through what i have been told first hand,And Grass is the only place for the event! and you can not walk on that never mind drive.

It sounds as though horwood fest is more appealing at the moment..

Hopefully they will put boards down on infield entrances or something? :-??

I and most would be gutted if we miss zed fest due to muddy display areas but what can we do? :-??
