Not sure if this has been mentioned before, did a search but couldn't find anything. It's a good day out, I've been with my son the last 2 years. It's a charity event organised by Petrolhead Nirvana and a couple of other forums, held at the TopGear test track (Dunsfold). Basically a load of drivers of some pretty exotic metal blast passengers around the track for money, all the proceeds going to The Childrens Trust. There are always some nice motors - Ferrari F40's, Enzo, sometimes an F50, Zonda, Lexus LFA, a whole host of other Ferraris, Lambos, Atoms, X-Bows etc. etc. It's a good day out, more details at the link: http://www.thesupercarevent.com/index.php/2013-event - Maybe a chance for a SE meet? (there's a huge parking area).

My ride last year:



My son George in the Enzo:



My brother normally brings this (previous owner Mr J Clarkson :thumbsup: )



Peter Saywell normally brings some of his collection:



My Son George in the Enzo, 2011 (he couldn't hold the camera very still bless him)

I went to this last year, was great. Went out in a 355 which sounded ace. What day are you going this year?

Gotta love a work Vegas trip though. I've been to work related conventions there in 2008 and 2011, stayed at the Venetian and Mandalay Bay, both very nice. There was 5 of us from work so although the days were a bit dull we had lots of fun in the evenings :thumbsup: Apart from the rides on the Stratosphere tower which scared the shite out of me :oops:
 
We book the Venetian for our own conferences and I've stayed at Mandalay Bay and MGM for customer events. I'm at Mandalay Bay again this time and got the corporate rate to stay on a few days after to catch up with friends that live there.

I'm being dared to do the Stratosphere tower jump this time. Foolishly, I said yes. I'll book the package with the wristcam and post the vid so the entire forum can hear a member scream like a girl all the way to the bottom...

I saw yours parked up :thumbsup: Good job mine was well out of the way the other end of the runway as I haven't washed it in ages and it's minging :oops:
 
I went today and had a ride in the yellow convertible Viper, made my Zed feel ever so slightly weedy on the way home!
