Picture the scene, 11.55a.m and my mobile goes... Private Number??

Hello?

Hello Mr Dixon, Its Miss...... from Autocar Publications,

Yes...

You entered a competition in 24th April Edition.....

(Think.. think..., BLOODY HELL thats win a week in CTR, week in ATR, week in S2000 and final week of the month in NSX),

Yes!!!

well you were runner up, one of 30 who wins... a guided tour of BAR factory in Hinckley / Brinkley ? (I'd shut down by this time),

Oh... em... great.

This Friday, get there and we will feed, water and give you an Autocar bag of goodies? before waving you off after a two stage tour of the factory.

Oh... em ...great, can I ring you back

Yes its....020......

5 minute think, I have to decline, can't really justify day off work, >500 miles???? and petrol for what could be just a bag of Autocar coffee mugs. Would love to see the BAR factory though??

So if you get a call saying your one of 30 runner-ups, you might just be 31, or was that me??

 

Er... can I impersonate you mate!

I'd donate body parts (well maybe toenail ) to get around the BAR factory

Tif (triple gutted!)

 

TIF (aka Paul) You have a PM

I remember about 24 months ago I gave away two tickets to Brands Hatch? for a round of BTCC!

Someone who lived about two miles away from the circuit took them.


Where is the BAR factory, I just thought it would be 'darn Souffth'

 

IMMSMR its at Silverstone

 

It's in Brackley,Bucks Paul.

It's a fantastic place to look around. I have quite a few mates working there at the mo!!!

Matt

It's about 12 miles from Silverstone.
