Yes, you get your hand stamped on the way out [you have to ask as they may think you are just leaving not to come back]

I go back and forth alot for food, change of clothes [if it rains], more sun cream [hopefully!....] etc etc etc

If you want to, PM me your mobile number and we could all meet.

This has changed for this year - you keep hold of your ticket! WHATEVER YOU DO DONT LOSE IT! They scan it in and then rip off the bottom part, but if you want to get back out and in again they scan you out and scan you back in as well as checking you have the ticket on the way back in

The one going up the hill is being driven by an Ex-F1 driver I know, Mike Wilds

[PatrickT82]

Agreed - but as the car will not likely be seeing such high speeds perhaps a bit more control is in order?

One thing I noticed about the livery is that the blue on the roof sections of the doors should extend out further and line up with the inner edge of the A-pillars so that your eyes see it as one clean and continuous arc.



Also, I take issue with the "027" embroidered into the car cover, but it's a bit of semantics I guess.

P.S.: I changed my sig in honor of the 27R Revival.
