Charlie Smith 192 #1 Posted June 26, 2015 Hello All, Bit late to post this but I was waiting to hear back from the organisers about how much was raised over the weekend! Last weekend I was away with my friend helping out at the 'The Super Car Event' that's held at the top gear track at Dunsfold every year. he runs his family owned breakdown recovery service that covers all of Sussex and Surrey, we normally go out on calls involving fords and volvo's etc, but last weekend was something amazingly different as we was recovering high end performance cars! The weekend is held to support the Childrens Trust Charity and this year everyone raised a whooping £115,000 for the charity. lots to see and do over the weekend, If any of you are into your cars I'd defiantly suggest going next year! its a life time experience to get driven round the top gear test track at high speeds! It was a first for me, I got driven round in all my dream cars! all sorts of cars arrived for you to ride in... Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Dodge Vipers, The Rare 'La Ferrari' and also the Lexus LFA and many many more.... here is a few photos. but hardly a touch of what was there. a few people can say they have been to the track, but not many can say they have camped on the outfield of the track! Best view out of all from the back of the lorry! The best bit about being 'behind the scenes' as such, was being in the pit lane! all of a sudden something different appeared! and YES! they did go round the track on them! This next one is one of the cars that broke down and wanted to be taken back home, he was furious! he had just had his gearbox/automatic/electronic clutch thingy repaired and a full service... he was showing us the paper work when we got back to his house as we didn't believe it! £16,000 for the work he had carried out... all for it to go boom again! and another one we had to take home.. it seems to be I wont be buying a black Ferrari...... they don't seem to be doing too well 4 Ian, nigel, HeadExam and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie Smith 192 #6 Posted June 27, 2015 Cheers guys, Sadly no more information on them bikes Ian, there was a group of them but no one knew where they came from just arrived went round the track and then disappeared again Yes chris, we just knocked the windows out, chucked the chains through and lifted it with the hiab, just kidding... They where a pain to load and unload due to the ride height on them, had to back it / lower it off in stages with lots of ramps and wood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
