i was at the show today - the missus got me tickets for her and i as a surprise!

the live show was very good, good stunts etc but i wont say what incase people are going tomoz/ end fo the month in london.

also went and had a look round the claiisc car show in the other hall, that was quite cool too!

the one thing that i would advise is to take your own food. the ques were mental, but we left it for ages then got some food when they didnt seem to bad... wrong... you que for 15 mins, get your plate of hot food, then have to join another que for 15 mins to fucking pay for it!

should have just fucked off and eaten it me thinks as it was of course stone cold by the time we got eat it!

the track action was ok, but as said the live show was the best bit. i also found it a bit boring to look around the cars, which were mostly lambos!

oh, and if you have a go on the F1 simulator, its way harder than it looks i was shit,a nd crashed a lot - not the best Ł10 i have ever spent

me feet are fooked and im knackered, but it was a good day

I went to the classic car show yesterday,that ticket let you in to TOP GEAR LIVE but you had to pay extra to see the live stuff.I thought i'd seen some mint cars at ford fair and national day on the concours stands,but yesterday in the classic bit on the ferarri and rolls royce stand they were in a league of there own.Trully trully mint.
And met Mike brewer and Edd china.

How much were the gold and platinum tickets for top gear???
