If they don't let me on the stand after all this I'm not parking in the main car park, I'll be heading back home.

2 police just been down the middle. Think we might be here a while.

where abouts are you in the queue?

Around the brow of the hill before the speed camera, south side of Silverstone on A43.

ok, you're further back, they just passed.

I'm at junction marker ii

I'm at marker 2 too. Lol. I'm in a white MK5 mondeo.

ah I spoke to you. Black focus mk 2.5 I think you're one car behind me lol

lol. Nice to meet you.

slip road is closed now, police have sent us past. The other side has a massive queue too.

Don't know whether to join queue on other side or just head home once through this. Don't want to sit in queue on otherwise only to be told I can't get on stand.  

my mate said the same. Going to McDonalds now :)

I assume it's not normally like this? Last time I attended I queued but off the A43, but that was about 8+ years ago.

we're in, just making our way to the stand.....

edit: But there's no room so parked by the banking for the bridge behind the IOW Ford Owners Club :)

I've just parked up15 mins ago Nightmare getting in.

That was some effort. Got in a while ago. Parked up. Mines on the left.

Back home now, 7hrs round trip, lol. At least I saw some nice Ford's on route. I wasn't the only one driving in the wrong direction on the way back either.

It would have probably taken me another hour and a half or more from where I was to get in, at the time when I gave up. Didn't want to take the chance they wouldn't let me in after waiting that long on top of nearly 2hrs already.

Have fun those that made it.

i was thinking about jumping in my car and poping up to ford fair earlier this morning until i read your posts. checked google maps traffic and changed my mind.

a few photos from today.

I might consider camping next year. Do you camp on site then can bypass the queues?

I'm never going through what we went through today again on queues.

I'll either have to stay/camp local or get there for gates open.
