There's a strong possibility I'll be there, my daughter has just moved to Silverstone village. It would be rude not to visit her so I'll probably go down on friday and attend the Fest on Saturday - available for Sunday cruise.

by **Jet** » Tue 22 May, 2012 13:19

2 months to go, starting to get a fever from excitement, got an email from Mr Green, looks like another Z1 will be joining us, where is everybody?

by **SCORPION** » Tue 22 May, 2012 14:37

How many Z1's are going ?
30 would be a nice number and more than ever before in the UK I would think.

by **survivalist** » Mon 28 May, 2012 14:57

As Jet says, I will be going (Mr Green), will sort out my ticket tonight.

My only questions is whether I have to do anything else to be able to park infield and take part in the parade lap.

Thanks. Was just about to pay full price for both tickets. That'll teach me not to skim read.

by **survivalist** » Mon 28 May, 2012 21:24

Tickets bought and registered on the main thread. Looking forward to what sounds like a great day out.

by **SCORPION** » Tue 29 May, 2012 09:41

Staying Friday and Saturday night in Silverstone village with my favourite daughter.

Thanks to the good people at silverstone and my husband organising a pass another Z1 will be there :lol:

The Specialist Cars crew will be there, my black Z1, the company's flip paint Z1 and the boss with his Z8. Looking forward to a great day.

Anyone else fancy a sunday morning cruise before we disperse? Talking to Ivan the Terrible, the 2009 Cotswold tour route was brilliant, great roads and stops, maybe we can do that again?

so far we have 7 interested parties.......

by **SCORPION** » Fri 08 Jun, 2012 16:54

Hi Jamal
Put me down for the Sunday cruise, please.

Anyone need Saturday tickets? Looks like I am not going to be able to make it. :cry:

Must be female related, bring her with you.

by **TJS** » Tue 12 Jun, 2012 21:03

Alternatively, if its work related lend the Z1 to your favourite female and send her off to Silverstone. I am sure we will keep a collective eye on both of them.

by **badboy** » Tue 12 Jun, 2012 22:04

Hi RT

I might be able to take those tickets! Trying to change dates in my calendar.

Update you tomorrow.

by **Racing Tortoise** » Wed 13 Jun, 2012 09:23

No, holiday-related. Turns out to be the only week we can get away and my other half stamped her foot very hard indeed over the idea that we should fly out Sunday rather than Friday night as that would mean in her world view "losing" the first weekend of the holiday.

by **Jet** » Wed 13 Jun, 2012 12:11

Yep, its female related.

Nope, still got them so you're welcome to them, although they've not actually turned up yet - has anyone received theirs yet!?

by **Ian M** » Sun 01 Jul, 2012 18:34

Got my tickets on Saturday.
If your selling on your tickets be aware that they have your name on them and the car pass has your vehicle reg number on it.

See you all there.

by **felix** » Mon 02 Jul, 2012 13:50

Just had a confirmation email that they have been posted.

by **the wife** » Wed 04 Jul, 2012 12:19

I left you a v-mail. Having spoken to the organisers, we might be able to sort out a switch if you do want them, so please call me back if that is the case. Thanks

by **TJS** » Thu 05 Jul, 2012 20:56

Tickets arrived, I assume we are all in the same area, G 13 Grey, on the north west edge of the infield.

by **felix** » Thu 05 Jul, 2012 21:13

If anyone is still after tickets please send a PM...

by **the wife** » Fri 06 Jul, 2012 06:18

Our tickets also are area G 13. :wink:

by **Racing Tortoise** » Fri 06 Jul, 2012 09:02

As are the ones I have.

by **BBZ149** » Fri 06 Jul, 2012 13:30

Not sure what everybody is doing on the Sunday if anything, but I will be booking a hotel in Milton Keynes and out clubbing on Saturday night :bounce:

Anyone wants to join is welcome and if anything is happening on the Sunday then plz let me know :wave

by **Jet** » Tue 10 Jul, 2012 07:33

Mr Briggs,

Got an email yesterday from a new member, add another to the group. What is the plan exactly for next week, where we meeting, are we meeting, time, place, shall I slop first?

by **Green Genie** » Tue 10 Jul, 2012 21:16

Looking forward to Silverstone

Jobs done since last posting.

1. Inspection 2 service carried out by ML
2 .Cam belt and pulley changed
3. Brake fluid/coolant changed
4. wheel alignment (3rd time-finally right) steering wheel now sits dead straight ahead at last. Should have gone to ML first
5.Tickets for Silverstone turned up :thumb:

See you all there...anyone know exact figures for Z1 attendance?

by **Neillfra** » Wed 11 Jul, 2012 09:38

Can anyone help a new member who wants to attend the Z Fest at the Silverstone CLassic with his Z1?

I have this week tried to book tickets and was told by the Silverstone Classic Ticket Line that the deadline for buying tickets with Car Club participation was June 14 and that car club tickets were now sold out. Elsewhere on this forum another Z3 owner, LittleC, has been recently told the same thing but the moderator suggested to him to try again, and the June 14 Deadline only applies to discounts for tickets.

I would very much like to take part with my Z1 in the display and the lap of the circuit. After becoming a BMW Car Club member in May, I inquired whether there was anything extra I had to do to take part, and was told I simply had to buy tickets from Silverstone Classic and quote the code, and all would be well. This would appear to be the position still being publicised in the July edition of Straight Six, which of course was sent out after the June 14 deadline, if indeed that deadline still applies.

My questions are: Is the deadline reall and applicable? If it is, why was I not informed of it by the Club when I inquired or in any of the club magazines since I could/would have booked my tickets before June 14 if I had been told? If it is not, then how do I ensure when booking my tickets that I get tickets that entitle me to gain access to the relevant club parking area so I can be part of the display and the lap of the circuit?

by **FinerZ1** » Sat 14 Jul, 2012 17:14

Hi

Am I too late to join the party? Just arrived back in the UK and finally got the Z1 back on the road after fixing a cracked alloy and overheating problems.
I'd like a ticket for the Saturday and the parade lap if possible. Can I still get one through the silverstoneclassic.com website or am I too late?

Look forward to meeting up with the few familiar faces, and some new ones, after being in France for the last 3 years.

Cheers

Paul

by **ChrisS** » Sun 15 Jul, 2012 09:24

Sorry if I'm repeating anything, but are there any plans to meet up before going in to Silverstone, notably on Saturday morning?

by **Bluebaur** » Sun 15 Jul, 2012 12:11

Now that we are only a few days away from the Silverstone Classic ZedFest, it it time to prepare for the event.

On the Saturday morning it is proposed that we now meet at the "Super Sausage Cafe" near Paulersbury some 6/7 miles south of Towcester on the A5, due to the number of Z1's attending. The original idea was to assemble at Sams house and move off from there, but for all the good reasons it would have been unfair to him and his family. The "Super Sausage Cafe" ( Post code NN12 7QD open at 07:00 hours ) is the meeting point for many of the bike/car clubs before entering Silverstone. It is approximately 10 mins. away from the circuit and it boasts large carpark, hot and cold food, drinks, takeaway sarnies etc.

We need to be parked at Silverstone by 09:30, so leaving the "Super Sausage" at 08:45 prompt should suffice, bearing in mind the high volume of classics and general public attending. Should we not be able to travel in convoy due to traffic, we must enter Silverstone by following signage to CARPARK 49 which is before the roundabout. On entering the circuit, the infield display vehicle pass must be clearly visible in the front windscreen. Allow time to get through the coned lanes, until arriving at the ticket check. Once clear proceed to the T junction , turn right and after 100 metres turn left into the BMWCC display area. The predominately hard standing display area has then been colour coded for the model types. Z1 colour code is GREEN.

I noted from another posting on this forum that driving licences must again be available for inspection if required before we can drive onto the cicuit for the parade lap. It is imperative that this is noted, as otherwise there may be some sad faces! The parade lap is scheduled to be around lunchtime as long as the racing timetable is not subject to undue delays. It is also requested by the organisers that our cars remain in the display area until at least 17:00 hours.

At this point I believe we have a guaranteed 25 Z1's attending but this could easily be closer to 30.

REMEMBER TO CARRY YOUR DRIVING LICENCE !!!

by **sfh3l** » Mon 16 Jul, 2012 15:02

I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday at the Super Sausage. I'll probably have my Dad riding shotgun as Catherine has deserted me for most of the weekend

I am afraid that I shan't be up for the Sunday cruise though, as I am going to be abck at the circuit, early doors displaying the old blue 3.0 csl...........

We need to pray for decent weather. On present form those prayers will go unheeded, but you never know! we are away for a couple of weeks soon after the Classic, so that usually marks the beginning of the summer (when I pay to go somewhere nice the weather at home is usually fantastic!).

See you on Saturday.

by **the wife** » Mon 16 Jul, 2012 20:15

Ooo see you at the 'sausage' place and thanks for driving licence info I'll search for mine now!' :roll:

We are looking to stay over somewhere close ish so would be up for a bit of a drive on Sunday, not sure I'm up for the clubbing though BBZ!

by **DPW** » Mon 16 Jul, 2012 21:40

Will meet you all at the Super Sausage Cafe.

Roger, are the Lincoln & Newark crew going down in convoy? If so what time do I need to be on A46?

Weather forecast is looking better for the weekend!

Best wishes,

Darren.

by **the wife** » Mon 16 Jul, 2012 22:29

Darren,

We are planning to meet Roger at 6.30 so will be on the A46 about 15 mins later.

I hope the weather is better, it's hood down all the way!

Ivor and Bindy

by **Jet** » Tue 17 Jul, 2012 13:56

Might have to don the hardtop if this rain persists, always feel the car wont shrink when top is on. Didnt see much takers for a sunday morning cruise, so assumed it was not an option, but might join if weather holds up, but looking forward to seeing you folks saturday.

Is there a southern meeting point or you all driving solo?

by **howardpalser** » Tue 17 Jul, 2012 17:37

I have a problem. I have left it far too late to obtain BMWCC tickets and a Display pass for the Zedfest on 21/7. I am happy to buy AA sponsored tickets but do not know how to get the Display Pass that would enable me to access where the Z1s are to congregate. The official ticket agency suggested I contact the Club. Any ideas?

Hi. Are you a club member? If you are, then the organisers have indicated that I could transfer my Saturday ticket and display pass (which I am sadly unable to now use due to a change of plans) to another club member.

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested as I am only around and able to deal with this until Thursday evening (then away abroad).

Looks like it's all changed!

Re: BMWCCGB Zedfest, 20 – 22 July 2012, Silverstone Circuit
by myredzed » 18th July 2012, 6:02 pm

UPDATE - MAJOR Change of Display Location > NEW DIRECTIONS

Due to poor ground conditions at Silverstone, we have been moved at our request, to a new position as follows:

New Directions
From Car Park 49 ticket control... Go to Tee junction, turn RIGHT and proceed to Stop line. Turn LEFT and proceed over the Bridge until the Mini Roundabout, turn LEFT and proceed in a straight line until you come to a STOP at the TRACK. Turn LEFT and proceed SLOWLY, under the bridge and prepare to STOP where directed by Club Marshals to your SIGNED area. We are using the disused circuit as our parking area, with all Classes-Models-Types in sections. All facilities are in this area. We will use this position for FRIDAY and SATURDAY, and going to AREA 14, adjacent to this position, for SUNDAY. We hope the better weather will improve our event.

Information will be given throughout the event duration from the Club's marquee.

Thanks for your patience and understanding on this. Finally, PLEASE pass on ALL this info to others you know are coming to zedfest.
