Don't miss it. It's not everyday that you have live video of SFW pornography. Look up, the RAF, look ahead and LMP1 cars are roaring past.

Yep, but I fainted when I saw the Gulf Porsche so I missed some.

I think I wet my pants when the Martini XJ220 GT was on.

Kinja'd!!!

Oh I'm so pissed I'm not there. We went last year (or was it the year before?) and it was excellent. This year we were too skint :S

Oh god damnit. I wish I was there :(

Me too.

At least we have the live video.

Awesome!

Is it open to everyone to just waltz in or are there limited tickets?

Did you see that M4 drifting the corner? GODDAMN

There are limited tickets, and they can sell out reasonably quickly. Not exactly cheap either, something like Ł180-Ł250 for a full weekend ticket, but it's genuinely the best car event I've ever been to.

It rivals the F1 at Silverstone for atmosphere, but I prefer the FoS for what's actually there. Much cooler for a classic and retro car enthusiast.

I think Kinja might have shit the bed. You might get a lot of the same reply there :S

2 so far, no worries.

Not nearly as bad as I'd thought :)

Whoa. Quite expensive! Thought it was cheaper.

Seems like a ridiculously amazing event to attend.

Individual day tickets are cheaper, but to see everything you really need to go for the weekend. I did, and I still didn't manage to see any of the rally stage, although I did see Rod Millen crash his beast of a Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak car:

That think looked constantly on the edge of murdering its inhabitant. Such a lairy car.

If I ever managed to be in the UK on that weekend I'd certainly squeeze my piggy bank dry to get the whole thing. I think I'd fall on my knees and cry a bit every time I see one of my childhood heroes.

I remember that. Excellent control considering what could've happened.

I saw the new Mustang behind the line, but did it make a run?

Hermann > Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2
06/27/2014 at 10:27

I think it did. Too bad they didn't show it.

The M4 that Tiff was driving is odd to me. The color nor wheels are offered on the car.

Hermann > Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2
06/27/2014 at 12:31

That particular M4 was Pistonhead's own . The car was chosen via a Poll with their readers .

It uses the BMW Individual Tanzanite Blue (I, too, voted for this colour), but the wheels are just the standard wheels in black. That's a standard option, actually.

Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 > Hermann
06/27/2014 at 12:37

Thank you very much for clarifying. That color needs to become a standard option. It looks fantastic. I guess the wheels are the same. The black wheels have polished spokes and I guess the overcast weather made the wheels look darker.

I want to thank you for killing my productivity for the day. It was GLORIOUS.

You're welcome!

Yeah, I had a double take when I saw them, and to be honest the "full black" wheels looked great, even being just an illusion.
