That's strange - Google maps says 63.2 and 1 hr 4 minutes from Thickthorn Shell Garage to Imperial War Museum Duxford, and that's for 'ordinary cars'... I'd expect to do it in under an hour in a Lotus as it's dual carriageway most of the way...

Is it hectic because people get there before gates open so there's an initial queue or is there a queue all through the morning?  Don't really want to queue among spontaneous combustion cars...

 

I was measuring from my house, door to door. We didn't leave Thickthorn until 8.20 am, although I got within ten minutes of the event, I was around for a while to know there was a big queue some time later as I was talking with the Pistonheads display group meeting at the McDonalds where I was waiting for my recovery truck!

Thanks Martyn for organising, and adding me to the list at short notice. I was going to come over and say bye, but you were chatting so didn't want to interrupt.

Some lovely cars within the Lotus stand!

Thanks for taking a pic of my yellow S1 Dave, much better than my iPhone! 

Couldn't believe how good the weather, great day.

[OwenGT3]

I'd just like to say that if I had made it, it looked a fantastic day, but today was not meant to be. Luckily breaking down just next to the services on the A11/A505 flyover was helpful. The wife and I got collected a few hours later, finally getting home around 2 pm, so a lovely days weather spent doing nothing but hanging around. I had a small taste what was on display as I was parked up waiting with all the Pistonheads attendees. Don't even know if I can make next year, as I plan to take car off the road to do major restoration.

To get something positive from the day I did get my car ready for the rear exhaust conversion, which is happening this Friday. I fitted the rear V8 lower valance, just needs exhaust trims now.

[Barrykearley]

Tell me it was just a tyre on that lovely v8
