2001 Bentley EXP 8 at Oulton Park today and tomorrow

I went to the Gold Cup race meeting at Oulton Park today, and to my surprise found in the paddock, a Team Bentley race truck with the 2001 Bentley EXP 8 sat along side it. It was up on its air jacks, had both doors open, all the wheels off and the engine cover removed. It also had full public access to it, ie, no barriers ! Hence I ran off about 75 detailed pictures of the car on my digital camera, including front underside shots of the diffuser etc. I also had a good chat with a team mechanic. The reason the car is there is because Derek Bell is going to drive some demonstration laps around the track on Monday, during the lunch break. I wasnt going to bother with my SLR camera and lens but have now changed my mind and will take them tomorrow now.
Also meet Stirling Moss today, and Jackie Stewart is there tomorrow. Also there today was Jack Brabham and Roy Salvadori.
Also the Bentley has been fitted out with a passenger seat to give VIP's rides in the car. I would what sort of a bribe I would need to get a ride in it tomorrow. Some guy went up to the driver of the new Aston Martin course car and said that it was his mates birthday, so could he have a ride in the Aston around the track. The guy to my surprise and his, said "Yes Ok, get in !" I guess you dont get if you dont ask.
