Guest 1PD Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 This is the 1st year of this event and one we think all ford enthusiasts will enjoy apart from the normal days events you also have the museam to look over making a full day of it,I have been asked by the Beaulieu events team to promote this event and put the word out on all forums & Clubs. sunday may 2nd 2010 This show is Brand New for 2010 I dont intend to publish all the details yet as they are more to come as Im dealing direct with the events team at Beaulieu over some minor queries ,Many others have tried spreading the word about this event but none had the official support of Beaulieu as I do .This is a Ford Only event at entrance prices will be reduced for all pre paid club entrants This is prices to all us car enthusiasts that turn up in a ford on the day and general public prices will be much higher £10 adults £5 children Attractions are vast and will take you all day just to explore them Pride of Ownership’ competition with a trophy and cash prize of which I personally have been asked to be a judging part of by the beaulieu events team I think as we at Mugmotorsport have been given pride of place as official show support we should really give this a go and not miss out on this once in a lifetime free advertising as we may well get mentioned in all the ford mags as being assiaciated officially with beaulieu http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/beaulieu/fordonlyday Ever wondered what happened to the amphibious Toyota, the Alfa/Saab stretch limo and the Reliant Robin rocket that were drowned/cut in half/fired into space by Jeremy, James and Richard in the good name of Top Gear? Since not even the dodgiest used car dealers would buy them, we’ve collected all the battered, modified and generally ruined cars from the world’s biggest car show and gathered them together in… the Top Gear Enormodrome! Take a look around the cars from the challenges, get a rare behind-the-scenes view into the show’s production office, and enjoy clips of some of the best Top Gear moments. The display, which is here for the rest of the year includes: The Amphibious Cars Can you modify a car to cross the English Channel? Or even a moderately large lake? We’ve hauled up Jeremy’s Nissank, James' Herald and Richard’s Dampervan from the deep as proof that amphibious commuting is Really Quite Difficult. The Double-Decker Cars Behold the mighty the two-tier creations from the biggest Anglo-German fight since… well, we won’t mention that. Marvel at the double-decker Jag XJ, Metro, E-Class and Golf – all with the accelerator, brakes and gears on the bottom car… and the steering wheel on the top. Topply… The Stretch Limos When Jeremy, James and Richard set out to turn a bunch of rusty second-hand cars into luxury stretch limos, things were always going to end badly. Exactly how badly became apparent when a trio of celebs arrived at the glitzy Brit Awards. Or, rather, didn’t arrive. The Reliant Rocket Can you make a car fly into space? Well, if it’s a car as stunningly aerodynamic as the Reliant Robin, and you’ve got enough rocket fuel to blow Wiltshire into the seventeenth century, the answer is… er, no. Not really. Take a look at the battered results. The Toyota Arctic Hilux Jeremy and James attempted to break a new record by racing to the North Pole in a car. A specially adapted Toyota Hilux with tyres costing £2,500 each, was equipped with a whole host of modifications including rifles and extra fuel tanks carrying a freeze-resistant mixture of diesel and Avgas. * Please note that the Toyota Hilux is off display until further notice. The Homemade Police Cars Taking pity on the poor British bobbies in their yawn-inducing Vauxhall Astra diesels, the boys set out to create a trio of more exciting police cars. Strangely, the police weren’t so keen on the boys’ rusty death traps, so we’ve got them on display instead. The Austin Princess You might think that British Leyland never made a good car, but Jeremy, James and Richard disagreed. Which is why they bought a 1978 Austin Princess, filled it full of water and then took it for a lap of the Top Gear test track. It made sense at the time. The Endurance BMW With a million gallons of home-grown biodiesel lying around, the boys decided they needed a way to get rid of it all. So they rolled up at the Silverstone 24 Hour race with a crudely sponsored BMW 3-Series, a whole load of biscuits… and the Stig. The Anne Hathaway’s Cottage Why do car interiors always have to be so, well, dull? Jeremy, an interior designer and a gaggle of Polish blokes set out to create a car with the interior ambience of a country cottage – flagstones and wood burner included. Take a look at the weighty result of their labours. The Olympic Mini Ever wondered if a rocket-powered Mini can out-jump a skier? No? Not even a rocket-powered Mini strapped to skis and filled with a tonne and a half of explosive thrust? Well, it can’t. Not even close. It took a damn good shot at it, mind... The Suzuki Swifts Having mastered car football in Toyota Aygos, James and Richard turned their attention to Canada’s favourite sport/warfare: ice hockey. In a bunch of Suzuki Swifts, with Jeremy as referee. We’ve got the remnants... Balearic Boys The boys each bought a pre-1982 car at auction and were sent to Majorca to take part in classic rally. May drove a 1970 Citroen Ami 8 in the fifth Majorca Classic Car Rally, which wound its way through some of the Mediterranean island's stunning scenery. Clarkson whizzed his way around the island in a 1979 Austin Healy Sprite, while Hammond commandeered a 1954 Lanchester.
