    Hi, please would you be able to add/amend the end date in your thread title so that it follows the forum rules for end dates. This will also make it much easier for other compers to find your comp when the end date is getting near - so more people can enter it! It will also make it a bit easier for our Board Guides, who have to find the ending ones to move them into Game Over. Thanks! :)


    Just click edit & advanced. eg maybe ............ E: 25/04 ? Win Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG supercar track day (fb)

    Thanks, weeowens.

    I live near the Brooklands, Mercedes World and, I have to say it is fantastic.

    The hotel is brand new and out of this world!

    For anyone who is near enough to enter this comp, I would say "Go For It!"

    Mercedes won in 1952
