Did anyone get to see my M3 (the convertible one) on the Technosport stand?

That's the one that runs rings around stock CSL's (ask Amit )

anyway regarding Sunday;
I'm really sorry i didnt get a chance to come over and chat for more than a few seconds. I knew the morning was going to be fraught but i though i'd have time when things settled down.

Sadly there was always something to do, although i did actually get to go out in both my cars (and spun them both...i blame cold tyres.....and a lack of talent!)

So my apologies if i didnt register when some of you say hello, my brain was trying to make sense of 10 things at once. I really appreciate Amit organising and the turnout from the CSL's was fantastic. (My M3 is an E46 and despite having a few toys to play with it remains one of my favourite cars)
I'm really happy to hear you all had a good time, i'm aware certain things could have worked better but we're taking feedback to improve what we're doing all the time.

Just as a bit of background all the organising team (with one exception) volunteered their time and services for nothing and we're rally pleased that we did because the buzz of the day was amazing,

now down to the nitty gritty, we did almost 900 supercar rides and ran right up to the limit imposed by Dunsfold...we got through the waiting queue at 4.30 on the dot.

We believe over 4,500 possibly 5,000 people came down and we raised in excess of;


£63,000

The Children's trust are understandably very pleased indeed and have vowed to put on an even better show next year with the aid of the lessons we learnt from this one..
Thank you for your support and hopefully see you again next year?

pictures will follow

Oh and i hope you all had a good chat with George on the Technosport stand. He's the guy who did my car and Amit's.....a real enthusiast who knows his stuff.

That's fantastic Harsh - congrats to all the organisers !

I have to say I really enjoyed it

I liked the slightly haphazard way it was laid out and the strange mix of events ( no offence meant but it seemed nicer that way)

I liked the food stalls ( we did eat early and avoided the queues, and I liked the fact there was only one Porsche in the supercar runs

the kids had a hoot and I didn't feel it was too big so that they'd get lost and it was small enought for azrael to find me and lend me some dosh so we all could eat
