all tickets were posted out on the 15th including yours and unless you opted for recorded/registered post this applys below I am sorry to say, but I will have a word with the organisers to see if they can help but no promises

2, Positions on stand will be mixed with best show cars on front row whatever model/spec they are
3, No trade vehicles are permitted on our stand at all unless of a modified nature
4, If for any reason your planned car breaks down etc, dont just turn up in anything non ford and expect to be on stand as you will be refused entry and pointed towrds public car park.
5, Gates open to exhibitors from 6.30am approx so I advise getting there between 7-8 as the public queue's will be long the closer to 9am you leave it and all attendees must be on stand by 8.30am
6, Food, bbqs are not allowed, so bring provisions or plenty of money as food is expensive at silverstone
7, Please do not simply park up where you want and stroll off ask first or your vehicle may be moved by force
8, Anyone doing track time needs to make themself known to me on entry as you will need to be positioned with access in/out of the stand for safety
9, Last point = enjoy yourself and if anyone wants any stickers etc come find me as I will have plenty

I've had head ache after head ache from shady brakes to oil leaks over the last few weeks but I think I'm ready. Took it to a Classic car meet Wednesday which was a 70 mile round trip with no issues so fingers crossed. Quick wash tomorrow and polish it when I get to the stone.
