If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrr........... in a word - No.

I went to plenty of GP's when I used to do some work for Canon years ago and having to pay Bernie's ticket prices just to stand (or sit) with the ticket fodder is a bit of a comedown and rather spoils the whole experience.........................

My ears remember quite well what ambiance sounds like from the pitlane thanks and they've been topped up regularly since at Le Mans Series races and events like the Renault freebie.

yep i will be at the f1 this year.....

but not in the bongo

my mate has a american camper and we will be in that, and at the whittlebury site but i dont know what area

yep was very expensive, and i couldnt really afford it, but my mate just booked it and said i was coming and had 5 months to find the money

290 quid for the 4 days and i think on race day we are on the corner near the start line etc

will have to sober up for the sunday lol
